I bought a GR Corolla! My dad and I drove down to Santa Barbara to pick it up and over the course of 3 days we drove 900 miles. We made memories that we will never forget and we saw sights we had never seen before. I am a lucky man.

Perhaps I'm channelling my white trash ancestors, but I've started fantasizing about spending a cash settlement before I actually have it. What's the consensus on the GR Corolla and its 26.3 pounds of boost 3 years on?

I don't believe in anything...karma, luck, God...but I have chills. I took a picture of an Outlander Ralliart and then turned the corner, not 200 feet away was a Montero on Golden State plates.

A beautiful end to an evening walk. Turbo Sprint (PrEO Metro) and a 635CSi.

I blame my coworker for getting me addicted to scented candles. But at least they were on clearance! 😅

As a long time Android user, it's really fun to see which iOS users update their phones as RCS is switched on.

The other day at Savers there was a women's medium denim jacket in with the men's mediums. I didn't realize anything was wrong until I noticed the buttons were reversed. I still think I could've pulled it off with a shorter t-shirt. 😂

My @onehellofatown shipment is here and it's so beautiful! My ex used to do all the decorating and this is the first art I've ever purchased. 🥲 Thanks @deerfella for making such beautiful art and for the bonus bumper sticker!
I ❤️ OHOAT bumper sticker, Pontiac Trans Am in Trans Pride colors sticker, illustrated poster of a Suzuki Escudo racing at Pikes Peak, photographic print of a Moonstone G-Body Porsche 911 Targa filled with piñatas.

Today, on what would have been my grandma's 103rd birthday, it feels great to have the watch she gave me for Christmas in 1991 fully restored and back on my wrist. She's been gone 24 years, but I can still think of her any time I look at the watch.

Yesterday, I took my park district's 4x4 training course. 8 hours of education and fun in an OHV park. I had never driven a 4WD truck off road before and I had so much fun! I'm forever a GMT800 stan; this truck is so much nicer to drive than the newer F150s and Rams we have. 😍

That being said, I won't kick a Hardbody out of bed...

Definitely my pops (pictured here in 1970s Miami with my grandma and his 914). He and my grandparents used to camp at Sebring every year. I grew up going to Laguna Seca every August. Since I was a kid he's had Maximas, E46 BMWs, a VW GTI, and now a Porsche 996 and 986.

And a very honorable mention to my mom, a certified car girl. She bought a '72 Gran Torino brand new at 18. More recently, she daily drove a 987 Cayman for 13 years. One time she sweet-talked Laguna Seca security into a pace car ride for all of us, despite lack of credentials.

I've worked in my park for 9 months and yesterday cemented the fact that I want to do this for the rest of my days. 2 lost kids, both found by staff. Sewage lift station shut down, fixed it. Many interactions with the public in Spanish. I was high on adrenaline all day.

Ok, hypothetically, you're on a first date where you're really hitting it off. You walk them to their car and you arrive at a Cybertruck. "This is me!" How do you react?
