Woulda thought the uWu on the CPU was a dead giveaway.
But hey, maybe they spent the time/money to have that made.
And have invisible fingers.
Or know how to raise the CPU arm.

TIL my TOB lasted precisely 59,210 miles. Got the whistles pulling onto the main road leaving my house, which is extremely fortunate.

I was just looking at getting a replacement last night debating how much work I really want to do this winter lol. Now to see if there was ever a permanent fix.

TIL that VROOM, the car buying service, has taken over a several acre lot about 10 miles from my house for car storage. The lot is next to a train track that has very heavy train traffic, and is less than a half-mile downwind from an open air large concrete manufacturing company.

Even the black cars in the lot are white.

Remined me not to buy a car from VROOM!
The lime for concrete manufacturing mixed with rain will chew through even modern cars worse than any salted road.

That model of the rusted out Datsun pickup I did is the result as it spent it's whole 5 years of life (yes it was only 5 years old when I got it) in a cement plant.

TIL that the coworker that has owned 2 focus st's, and 1 focus rs, and is constantly talking about tuning and modding for more power, can't identify the sound of a bad wheel bearing.

his response? "i really don't know anything about cars"...

Sounds like 90% of the population and name a hobby.
