Five more days in Argentina, 17 more days until we get the keys to our house in Rio de Janeiro.

Alfa is going to a new home this week, and it's bittersweet, though the new owner is a fellow Alfisti.
Next step, deciding what'll replace it when I get to Brasil

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

Introduce yourself with 5 cars you’ve owned.
1965 Oldsmobile 98
1992 Dodge Dynasty
1980 Volvo 242 GT
1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate
1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible
I could’ve also done an all Volvo list, or even an all wagon list, but these were all very influential for me.

My contribution to the annual cranberry sauce discourse is that my homemade sauce is nowhere near as good as the lump of Ocean Spray that comes out in the shape of the can, but it's better than most people's, and when it's a 12 hour flight to get the canned stuff, you learn how to get good at DIY.

I used to daily one of these and I miss it to this day. Amazing little cars when they’re working
Someone left their classic Fiat convertible with top down, with a Rush 8track in the player all day today.
Everything is better when people feel safe. What a treat.

It's fitting that my current top picks for a new daily are:
1 - An Australian RWD sedan with a 3800 Series II
2 - A weird French wagon
3 - A funky little Giugiaro-designed AWD Japanese hatchback
4 - A French-badged Romanian subcompact that was made in Brazil
5 - A Brazilian-made Corolla wagon

This is probably the sort of car that would make my life more difficult, but damn if it's not hard to resist the call of a Citroën wagon.
