Ha! Sounds like me except exchange houses for jobs....

I have had to recently cull back my various job, car, plane agents I had out sending me email alerts as it got to an uncontrollable level. I do love my eBay/Trade-A-Plane/Controller airplane alerts though.

I love leaving things in my Amazon cart. Recently shit the bed on a GTX1080, was out of stock at 630, came back in stock and went up to 890

That sucker was so long I had to punch a hole in the sheet rock at the end of my garage to get it in.

I went from that monster to a Miata ......

Time for some steak and eggs and a nap ..... to get rested up for the "fire watch" duty tonight, to make sure the neighbor kids don't ignite the dry pine trees that surround our house, with their foreworks ......

I can lay across my front bench without even bending my knees! I have fallen asleep on it while working on the inside of the car.

Good luck nobody steals it at the airport luggage checkout.

I've heard before from someone that had relatives working for xx airline baggage handling and they say when they see stuff like Rimowa they throw it extra hard.

Trust me I always wanted the aluminum version.

I never knew Lincoln door pulls date back like 100 years ago.

Last week I took limo service in a 2000ish Town Car and in a pinch I couldn't figure out where the door pull was, so I opened the ashtray and grabbed onto that to close the door lmao!

Just be glad the doors open the right direction now.

Old arthritic hands?

And the entire construction workforce must have arthritis since their tools always come with ABS plastic carrying cases.

I'm currently researching a computer exploit named squiblydoo and can't stop giggling at the name long enough to finish the article. Probably shouldn't have stayed up until 3 am watching Netflix...

Some Rimowa suitcases I've seen selling at posh shops downtown are $1500CAD+ and the outer shell is aluminum.

I took my driving test in a 1971 Olds 98 Coupe. 18.5ft long and 6.5ft wide with a 455 Rocket (that later ended up crammed into my Dad's '57 Belair after he wrecked the 98).

Looked just like this one...
