If people were still buying cars at the rate they were in 2015, and weren't unrealistic in terms of price, it wouldn't be so bad. But working all these hours for nothing just plain sucks.

I'm not even a huge synthwave guy, hahaha.

Omg though, as soon as I saw the DeLorean on this...

Also I'm a sucker for cyberpunk-ish car interfaces

I like the "Metropolis" playlist on Spotify as well.

Bought a Gerber 12 tool multitool today for funsies because last night I realized I reeeally needed a pair of pliers to work on the car (those small clamps in the engine bay that don't use screws are too hard to push together with just fingers).

Should be handy.

Got to work at 8am, didn't leave until 9:40pm. Less than a 30-minute lunch.......didn't make a single penny....

wtf?? At that point it seems more like slaving than working...

My coworker today parked his M2 near my BRZ. Some pics:

He's driven us to get food and stuff before. It actually sounds pretty nice (with their digital sound generator thing disabled of course).

But I think for the most part I still prefer my car, except for maybe the nicer interior of the M2.
