Hope you cleaned up afterwards...
I had to take it to the car wash but yeah it's good as new now

Important you follow the maintenance rules or they get messed up.

On the bright side, now it smells like bubblegum

Completely forgot how it feels to be a day person. (not counting road trips/auto-x days).

I hear airplanes, cars, dogs, birds right now!

Is this your dog?




Nightwalker, signing off 😐



I'm also disappointed no one gave me sandwich money.

Stretch goal... I'll take a video of me eating it if I get the money tonight.

Reduce the goal to 5 dollars and I'll take you up on that offer.

Asked my younger brother to teach me how to drive his MT civic.

Only stalled over 3 times over an hour, took about... 10 times to get that smooth transition between releasing the clutch pedal and pressing the gas pedal from dead stop to go in first - without stalling or revving the engine.

Now I get it. Finally understand why people say "I feel like I have more control over the car".

Freaking leg hurts though lol

Try driving a WRX. The clutch is so heavy that after 5 years of owning them, I felt as though I could leg press a house. Going up stairs wasn't so much climbing, but rather pushing the Earth downward beneath me. Only the left leg, though, which was awkward.
