I'm 80% sure I once helped out on a Corvette club poker run that ended at a Country Buffet. 20% chance it was a Golden Corral, I can't remember for sure.

If you were in the maroon and tan lowered Miata behind me this morning, yes, I did gun it around the corner so you could make that light. You're welcome!

Due to the construction related traffic nightmare near my house, I've opted to dust off my bike for occasional commuting relief. I was given a nice road bike ages ago and I'm now having to relearn how to ride it. The "you never forget" thing is a lie!

This table is in a book that is giving me truly terrible ideas...

An absolutely ancient couple got out of this beauty and I almost walked up and told them if anyone ever tried to buy it, they should demand approximately double what is offered

Took the kid to the mall and unleashed her in Hot Topic for the first time. I've shopped for kid goth clothes for her before, but this was the first time she lead the charge and damn if it wasn't cute af. She picked a skirt that will be turned into a dress

I've yet to own a Fiat that I haven't ended upside down and backwards in the footwell of...

Nothing better than lilac season to make the house smell pretty!

Elise enjoys getting in the middle of everything on laundry day. Using my underwear as a pillow resulted in more underwear stacked on her head. She did not care.

I'm not sure I'll ever get used to people enthusiastically yelling about the Marea as I drive around...

What do I win for a wood wrap 500 and two tone Taurus wagon double spot?

Oddly enough, I too have rode in the back of a pickup used as a hearse once upon a time when I was a teenager in backwoods Mexico. I did not think this would ever be an experience I shared with a Pope. And no, I don't remember if it was a Dodge.
