I'm into it for (mostly) functional reasons. I have a project car that has required a lot of custom work + a lot of replacement parts that are difficult to find (so I printed them). To print large enough parts out of exotic material that will survive the engine bay I'm in ~$2,000.

going to a gay little coffee shop is one of my favorite activities every time I visit a new city. literally to do the opposite of being productive because I'm here for work but still

Tonight's mood: "Don't Tell Me To Breathe" by Nicole Alexis As I've struggled with my mental health for so long, acutely recently, this song has been hitting me pretty deep to my core.

It was absolutely incredible, and I got to see it at Portland's Laurelhurst theatre, a small local theatre I'd never been to prior; but will definitely be going out of my way to go there again

She made it home and didn't blow up* this time! * She tried to. Battery gave the metal cold air intake shroud a hug and left a nice scorch mark and sparks.

I'm not 100% familiar with Win11's way of doing this, but I found a support article that walks you through it (yes, I know, ugh). If you are able, and can open the command line (cmd.exe) or powershell, try typing in ipconfig and let me know the output support.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

She really, really was. I had done everything to her that could be done without opening the engine. She cornered like she was on rails, had a beautiful sounding exhaust (but not obnoxiously loud, I promise) and was the first car I loved. I took the lower brake light off to adapt onto the Volvo.

But...my Impreza will always hold a special place in my heart. It got me through so much, and taught me so much about cars and was an outlet for self expression. RIP Trinity ♥️
