So, have you ever heard of “Jamaican Cow Cod Soup”? lol. It’s a penis from a bull chopped up in soup. And the South American giant tarantulas? People eat those too. And so, I looked up balut. I’d puke if I ate that. Then I looked up what the taste is like. I gagged a little reading it. SO gross!

So my brother in law’s dental assistant has kittens she gave away. She’s got one more left that hasn’t found a home. He sent me a text asking if we wanted her. I’m like YES! lol. Isn’t she CUTE?!

So, my brother in law told me that this kitty was already been spoken for before he knew about it. But her sister isn’t. I told him to put my name on her, lol.

Kittens are cute. I'm a dog person though. There are some cats I've liked but it's because they acted like dogs.

Bob used to live next door and he was great. He would greet me at my car and run over for me to rub his belly. When he got mad at his family for getting a new cat, he tried to move in with me. He gave me presents every day (dead mice and birds). He liked to cuddle. He was the best cat. But most are too independent and vindictive. Lol

I see you. That video was actually solid.

You’re getting the car thing down. I won’t say you’ve crossed over, but you’re definitely circling the lot. And you said microfiber, too? I’m impressed. 😂

He’ll get it running, I’m sure. Nice ride, though. I’ve always liked comparing the VW Beetle with the Model T. They’ve got so much in common. Love them both.

😂 Because real car guys are always chasing perfection. If it’s running, we’ll find a reason to tear it apart again. My MG was running fine, but I want it to be safer so I’m adding those parts this summer.

Fake California (kit car). They were also sued by Ferrari when that movie came out. They used the logos without permission.

Those seats are stock. It comes like that.

These are what came stock with mine. Same.



Yeah, I agree with you. Japanese exotics have always struck me as visually restrained, almost unfinished at first glance. But over time, I’ve come to see that as intentional. Their design language isn’t about flamboyance or excess, it’s about precision, efficiency, and purpose. There’s a kind of disciplined minimalism to them, less emotional spectacle, and more like mechanical poetry. While some exotics are sculpted to turn heads at a standstill, JDM legends are shaped to come alive in motion. That’s honestly where their beauty really speaks.

It was his dad's and he inherited it. But it's why he requires a 3 car garage. His garage is standard width but it's twice as deep as most are so you can have all the motorcycles and Model T's and stuff in the back.

And here I'm wanting to look at condos with an attached garage because I haven't had a garage since 2001.

I see where you’re coming from but I don’t think of Ferrari like you do when I see or hear the name. For me, the last truly great Ferrari was the F40. Everything about it with its rawness, the mechanical purity and the lack of electronic interference felt like the final chapter in the era Enzo built. After he passed, it feels like the soul of the brand shifted. After Enzo, I’ve liked a few here and there, like the first gen Maranello, the 458, the F12, and the 599. Those Ferraris had flashes of that old DNA.

But overall, Ferrari’s post-Enzo direction feels more curated than passionate. As a stylist, I just feel that from their inception through the late 80s, the cars moved me emotionally. They weren’t just performance machines. To me, they were pretty much emotional statements. I don’t quite get that same feeling from most of the newer models now.

Speaking of Pippin, this is a picture of my Daisy in her Halloween costume I bought for her last October, lol. I miss her SO MUCH.
