My mom gifted me and my siblings all of our childhood ornaments (she buys us a new one every year, still does). Have them going back to my birth. Unfortunately not all of them have dates on them

My wife bought me a lovely nerdy Advent calendar that somehow encompasses several of my interests.
How this was never on my radar is beyond me.

A car with an I6 I'd like to own.
But in the real world, this is the one I haven't owned that I'd really like to own. I have alerts set for them on BaT.

A car with an I6 I’d like to own
I've already owned several I6s in my lifetime, currently have one and a Flat-6 in the garage, so I'm going to swing for the fences with a car that doesn't exist, but I'd sure like to own one.

Wife came to have dinner with me and friends at work. Departing she goes, "sorry for the "Christmas" when you get home."
I said, "so the dogs are in bow ties and you decorated?"
She nodded and said she also got the Christmas blankets out for the horde dragon.
Folks I was not prepared to come home

I'm thankful that late '90s early 2000's Germans were unhinged enough to decide that SMG was the future and try to shove it into everything until they figured out DCT.

Annual tree day post. As usual, be bought a tree a little too big for the space. 🤷♂️ this is the way.

This has been occupying far too much of my headspace for the last 24 hours. Mazda should have made a ND Shooting Brake. I would absolutely buy one new and daily it if they did

I love going into the parking lot and not being able to find my car because it's between two giant trucks.
