I'm now more interested in knowing what that cassette is than the clock fix. Do tell.

Thats a good old fashioned mixed tape circa 1990, or there abouts. Off the top of me head there's a bit of everything on there, Barenaked Ladies, Leonard Cohen, U2, Janes Addiction, ACDC, Ministry, Pearl Jam... etc. No Milli Vanilli... ha, ha, ha!!

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

listed the jag for sale... just time to move on I think. plus, I like my "car money" to not mess with my other cash, and with a few fixes to the prowler, the pacer, the jag itself and now the morgan, I think it's time to free up some money to make the few cars good cars.

plus, the morgan now needs way more... air cleaner fell off driving it and got crushed by a car behind me.. then it decided it was going to start spewing glycol all over from... I don't know what. so it's parked awaiting a trip to a specialist shop.
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

3 year service for the Audi: oil change, brake fluid change, inspections, new rear wiper blade, two recalls: a software update for HVAC and some sort of wiring / connector kit for the passenger presence detector. Free Nespresso. 422$ because free Nespresso.

My little e-tron had friends - rare Q5 e-tron charging up.

Come on, aren't you a journalist?  ;) That thing is called the Q5 quattro 55 PHEV.

 So I was bored this morning. Decided to vacuum out the trunks of the cars. Checked the tire pressure in the donut spares. 30 year old car maybe 10 lbs,16 year old car about the same. 8 year old car had 20. Basically useless if you get a flat. Inflated them to 60. I guess i will check on them more often. ;D

So check those spares .

Took "Francesca" to work today, what a nice drive on the back roads. I really am going to miss this car... :'(
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Finally got my 20% tints, amg decals and smoked tails. What do you think??
My next changes could be to black out all trim.

Nice car, not a fan of the rear lights though.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Yeah. Wasn’t too sure. Lucky it’s pretty easy to remove if I get tired of it. Looks much better in person.
