For a minute there, I was really concerned I was gonna have to start researching Fiat cryogenics...
Lately I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a car in a big concours event, but then I remembered I'm not in the right tax bracket...
I mean, I get it, people are on limited budgets and all that, but I could have at least saved the guy a trip back to the shop and a couple more days without his car if he'd just said yes initially. The poor car is barely alive in the first place.
Me last week: these coolant hoses are very swollen and oil contaminated, they need replacement ASAP.
Customer: declines.
3 days later...
Customer: My car is smoking and there's some sort of fluid everywhere.
Me: *pops hood* Remember those hoses you declined?
Customer:
A friend of mine had earned a 200mph+ club red hat from racing at Bonneville. He was a passionate leftist, union organizer, and truly a great man. He totally enjoyed rocking his hat to trick the nazis😂
I was casually asked my feelings about "wearing red hats" last fall when I went to England. I said I'd sooner have my head chopped off than wear one, which seemed to settle the issue immediately.
Pay for your porn.
Every once in a while, I'm reminded in unexpected ways of how my social circle is kinda unusual. "I'm not sure we can go, it might clash with Mille Miglia" is one of those moments.
Really depends on whos fishnets I'm getting tangled in...
90% off is hard to argue against
Yhat was exactly my justification. Like how dare I turn down such a gift from the goth gods?!
Did I *need* another pair of goth boots? Absolutely fucking not. Were they $12 marked down from $120? You best believe it!
The World's Mintiest Tiburon lives around the block from me
By 1984 Lancia had done a few rust prevention updates, so it wasn't a terrible proposition to buy one new. I *think* they'd fixed the cam belt problem too by then, but I'd need to consult my books to be sure
Just a good ol taxi spec 124

I love Argento movies
Go watch the Argento original version of Suspiria, this will soon make complete sense
And no, I'm not going to go out and buy a sports car. In fact I'm planning to sell my racecar. Idk what the hell to do about myself rn
Ngl, I'm really starting to feel mid-life crisis-y. The combination of an imminent birthday, stressful dead-end job, zero local friends, and desperately wanting to make something of myself is getting very difficult.
I once bought a Sex Pistol (Glen Matlock) a beer
I am achingly jealous!
On my mom's side he ran parking lots for the City of Long Beach, including City Auditorium and the Queen Mary.
On my dad's side, my blood grandpa was a Presbyterian minister and my step-grandpa was a banker and some sort of diplomat apparently. Both died before I was born.
Please reference previous answer about getting sideways on the way to a good bottle of wine and being willing to throw a punch whilst wearing Armani
You are tasteful and classy, but fun. Not completely bonkers, but a solidly enjoyable dinner guest
Tough to give a call on the character of the person buying a brand new Lancia these days, more data needed😅
Same here. Obviously, we are people of class and impeccable taste, but prone to get sideways on our way to a good bottle of nebbiolo. Here for a good time, maybe not a long time, will throw a punch if needed while wearing Armani
43 is on the young side you should be at least 48, probably mid-50s
Regular Thesis: These days, you're a charming young weirdo/goofball, bless your heart (positive)
Thesis Protecta: I do not ask questions about you or your business. In fact, the less I know, the less likely I will be called to testify for the prosecution OR the defense
OG Zeta: You're a time traveler or pulled something out of a barn that no longer exists and are a very wealthy concours guy.
Zeta MPV: you are the wife of a devoutly Catholic, mid-tier Italian businessman. Both of you have side pieces.
