Although, this is some fuckin' bullshit... Found this Friday morning when were about to head out for a Dr appointment:
That's like some straight up murder-rape boobies trap shit... It was a bullet casing with the lip serrated, and a nail in the middle of it, filled with sand. Must have picked it up on Thursday. The beefy tread block on the tire took most of the damage so it just lost air in my driveway, but that fucker would have hit a summer tire or a more worn down tread, it could have been a catastrophe.

Yeah, it was all together very strange. Looking back, probably a little bit creepy too. Or I just have stupid luck. One of the flats I got in the wagon was from running over a razor blade. The guys at Discount Tire must be entertained. Probably not though.
A little while after we moved here, I found out that The Texas Killing Fields is, in fact, a real place. Really close by... So yeah... Close one this time. My first thought was MM trying to get my skinsuit. But since I didn't see any busted up Accords (aside from ours), I figured it wasn't him. This time.

Here's another strange tire incident that happened to my friend here in Houston.
it's very hard to explain this logically.
the head does look like it was rolled over...but rolled over by who? as it's in the sidewall.
perhaps a truck lost a load of nails which bounced all over the road and got stuck in his tire?! no way.
someone took a nail gun and shot in the air and it happened to land in the tire? no way!

If I were to channel my inner hooligan, I'd say the nail might have been wedged between the tire sidewall and the ground so it would get pressed in as they pulled out of a parking spot.
We're all going to get murder-raped.

I agree on the aging luxury sedan.
With so many cars to maintain I lost
the desire to do so over the long haul.
Especially when parts costs are on the rise
as the model gets older.
Really? I thought they were holding steady for more money.
I agree, but no car payment is also a big plus
I tend to go at least 4+ years of no car payments. So I bought my RSX-S in 2006, paid off in 2010. Mrs had her 2005 Mazda3 (paid off in 2010). Bought MDX in 2014, paid off in 2019. Hoping for no car payments until 2023
Maintaining 4 vehicles is a PITA though lol

had an 05 BOM RSX as well...were you on clubrsx or ivtec.net?
Maintaining a lot of vehicles is doable but I find you end up being
cheap on all of them since you have to spread the resources.
Reason #1 we got the Road Pig. My Taco was fine when all we had was dogs, but start adding spawns to the equation and the 4Runner made sense. I loved the 4Runner since I first rode in a 2nd Gen. I still have a soft spot for that one really but it was kind of a big victory to finally park one in the driveway after 20 years... And have an honest justification for it.
But yeah, hurricane evac isn't so much a concern any more. We plays it smart but don't sweat some details.

With that said, they are so cool looking and run forever...I'm sure I could get over it but I'm a Honda guy at heart. I wish Honda made a viable option...
if you follow any of those lift/built element pages...they are pretty funny.

Ah fuck. Local VW dealer is overstocked: new 2020 base model (cloth seats, few options) Jetta GLIs for really cheap. Red 6-speed manual 24k, white 7-speed DSG 25k. Much temptation!

Yeah, I did a dry run last night, and I'm glad I did. Couldn't log into the second layer of portals, and took a lot of digging to go figure out what the credentials were supposed to be.
Fuckin' kept turning it off and back on didn't fix it so I was really out of my element.
First session is done and now it's general fuckaround time. This is weird.

Haven't driven one yet.
Base model 1.4t from previous generation (had a Wolfsburg as a rental car in Edmonton Canadlandia of all places) drove extremely well, much German road mastery in an inexpensive car.

Yeah, Zoom took a shit. ItsLearning was in death throws. Teams was choking...
Our school had about 30 minutes of actual, connected, class activity today before they were like, "fuck it. come back tomorrow."
Coffee's been out and switched to rum.
