I was driving past the cheap car wash I pass every day when a car turned in front of me headed into the parking lot. This is not a rare occurrence as this particular car wash is consistently full. Even on a day when rain is starting to come down, you will see several cars […]
There comes a time in every car’s life when it’s time to just let it go. There is only so much you can do for an automobile. You can spend your entire personal wealth trying to keep it alive, but in the end, it is just going to be sent to that great scrap heap […]
I can be very self-conscious at times. I have no idea what it stems from, though if I were to guess I would assume it has something to do with not wanting to be laughed at. When people laugh at you, it is very rarely ever fun. There are many things this has held me […]
As a poor man, I spend a lot of time on eBay. I would very much like to own a Gibson guitar or a Canon Rebel. I, however, have to spend my money on stupid things like rent and food. On eBay, though, I can dream that maybe, just maybe, a $10 bid might win […]
Okay, car. This is it. After months of clashing, after all of the turmoil you have put me through, you have gone for the checkmate, trying your best to end our battles. Our epic tale began like so many before it. I, desperately in need of a car, was offered the opportunity to purchase transportation. […]
In Wichita, KS this week, there was a heat burst. Within twenty minutes, the heat had risen from mid-80’s to 102. While most people read this story and thought, “Sucks to be Wichita” (By the way, it does. It’s not the most pleasant town ever), I read it and was instantly able to relate. My […]

Today is just one of those days. Oddly enough, even though that last sentence says literally nothing, it is enough for people to realize what I’m talking about. This would be because everyone has experienced those days where they get up, start doing what they’re supposed to do, realize that today is going to be […]
I’m distracted today. Not that it’s a rare occurrence for me to feel some of blockage to the attention-paying portion of my brain (I believe it’s the attention cortex). I’m from the MTV generation, so naturally I haven’t paid full attention to anything, in, well, probably in forever (unless my wife asks, in which case, […]
All across this grand country, the trailer parks are abuzz. The Super Bowl of auto racing has arrived. This Sunday, the Daytona 500 will be run. (Little known fact: The first Daytona 500 was run in 1845 when a young Abraham Lincoln outraced Mark Twain. He was later disqualified for using illegal shoes on his […]
