I don't update here very often because this is mostly 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, thought I'd take a moment to babble about my current cars 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 though 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)
