I don't update here very often because this is primarily a surrogate for my own memory. And I don't remember that this exists. (And I've been using journaling tools on my phone more often than not for the Second Memory functions.)
Anyway, I'm taking a moment to babble about my current car things.
2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI - The Daily Driver. I have done no mods to this car. I will do no mods to this car. I bought it when I thought I would be commuting to work every day...then the world changed. Whenever I think about getting something else, I just can't bring myself to do it for financial responsibility reasons. (Hard to argue with a 0% APR loan vs. what loan rates are like right now)

1992 Suzuki Cappuccino - There's really not much I want to do with the car other than keep it fresh and running. I want it to be a small, sporty cruiser, and I intend to keep it that way. No crazy build. I think I've moved past the crazy build phase of my life.

2002 Porsche 911 (996) C2 - More and more, this car is becoming "My Porsche." Personalized over time as I understand what I want this car to be, the feelings I want to have driving it. That doesn't mean that it's a "Forever Car" or my ultimate Porsche, because I don't think that it is.

2020 GBS Zero Roadster - My Seven experience. I like driving it. It's fun. It's not as rowdy as I want it to be. I have some thoughts about this car, and mostly they all come down to "It's not the rowdy hooligan it turns out that I want.) I'm on the fence about selling and building something new to fill the rowdy need or tearing its current form and rebuilding it. I'm leaning toward the latter.
- Current State:
- Running
- Registered
- Current TechDebt:
- It's leaking like the Exxon Valdez.
- The oiling system needs a revamp.
- Passenger harness replacement.
- Better seating

- Upcoming Projects:

- High revs because reasons.
- Keep or Sell in 2025:
- I might sell this car and focus on the kinds of cars and driving that make me happiest. (Porsche and Cappuccino) To sell it, I need to fix the oil problem.
