Read a thing about how sheer dressing is on trend, and I can't help but think about the MULTIPLE pairs of sheer mesh pants I've owned in the last 20 years. Like, that's just standard summer/vacation attire for me...

Cool things at work: a customer referencing @saab.bsky.social photos in Panorama for what he wants for his car.

I don't generally discuss my clients publicly, but one is a former Starbucks exec* and uh, yeah, go buy a coffee from a local place where the owner has just one or two nice cars...

*No personal shade, he's a chill dude
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Who doesn't love the massive kick in the metaphorical testicles that is finding out you have to get a new water heater on a Monday morning after two days of cold showers...

Surely, I can't be the only one browsing Victorian porno mags for sale at 11:30 on a sunday night, right?

Please give me a spanking if this is a naughty thing to be doing...

Was doomscrolling earlier when I saw a thing like "In your 30s, your ambitions will outgrow the room you're sitting in." Bruh. Been feeling some kind of way and fucking stupid for some inspirational quote thing to get me like that all day, but yeah...

Got a clearly spam FB friend request from Consulente finanzario per gli investimenti della Fiat Italiana, and I gotta admit, maybe today, Satan?

Water heater has fucked off, and in a very me turn of events, the water heater is blocked in by a Lancia, an MR2 and a pickup. I delicately splayed myself across the hood, gently avoiding spendy fiberglass bits, to try to figure out what's wrong. I failed.

Apparently somebody binned the $699/half day local rental GT3RS. It took two weeks...

*Sigh* I really need someone to buy me a plane ticket so I can go to Race Retro in February and be with my boys😭

Ever meet someone who just *gets it* so hard that it's almost irritating?

All I want in life, clearly, is to do the dumbest shit possible, which is extremely irritating.

It's dreary and the day after Thanksgiving, which means it's officially Marc Almond Torch season! I hate Christmas music with an extreme passion, so this is what I use instead

Joined the cousin walk at Thanksgiving dinner and yeah, that livened up the proceedings and made the food more palatable...

My sister in law has decided she will cook EVERYTHING for today.

My sister in law is the whitest white girl on earth and can not cook. Her kitchen is bereft of seasonings.

Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated at this difficult time.

I love when the local rich guy FB car group I'm inexplicably in does a What Is It Wednesday. Half the group just knows me as "the service advisor at the Euro shop" but here I am like "oh, that won the Targa Florio in '66, which I know because...*insert ultra-obscure knowledge here*"

Seeing an ad for the Denver Parade Of Lights somehow caused a sense memory of my ass cheeks being the coldest thing in the entire state TWENTY YEARS after the last time I marched. Two decades, and they still feel frozen...

New Martini looks so cute with old Martini!

I splurged and got myself something a little special. Naturally, I freed it from the plastic so it could breathe and it will be joining the herd on my desk in the morning

This salad was absurd

Me 2 weeks ago: Damn, this Lancia boy fun and slightly crazy, but his vibe is good.

Me, reading BBC news today: Oh fuck, that Lancia boy is one of the guys trying to take down Nigel fucking Farage. Old Lancia ownership is brave, but this dude is brave-brave...

13 years ago, I drove my first Fiat, which I went on to purchase the next day. That moment gave me a life more incredible than anything I could have dreamed of

Having a social life that is severely international is painful. Like yes, I want to be at all these different events, I want to be with my people, but I can't, and it kills me.
