I got the opportunity to spend $700 (which was the "friend price") on a new windshield about 6 weeks ago courtesy of a sugar cane truck in Louisiana. I've determined that I'm just going to take the Hank Moody route and quit giving a fuck about dings and damage as long as my car drives well. I don't have a single body panel that doesn't have either a door ding or some sort of hail damage. Also, I'm never buying another black vehicle again.

That story hit close to home @tvenuto I felt that. And @Clint_D Ouch! I think that’s a sensible attitude. I feel like the universe is taking all of our fucks away from us, whether we like it or not. This morning I woke up and went to look for my fucks but couldn’t find them. When you got no fucks, you can give no fucks. Ah ah ah

Yea I avoid black for cars as well. I worked as a detailer at a dealership and black ones were always the hardest to get looking good for a buyer, even if they were brand spanking new. Silver ones you just washed off, maybe just rinsed. And I lived in the city so I got over dents and dings really quick. My bumpers are pretty scarred from all the parallel parking too…

Oh man, that hit deep @Clint_D. My first car was a ‘88 Chevy blazer. That’s what saved my life when I tumbled down the highway in 2002. But it looked like a triangle when it was over so I got another ‘96 Blazer and absolutely loved it until it had some catastrophic malfunction. I was talking to my mechanic about what to get, and he swore by idea to get a stock F150 with no upgrades and drive it til it dies. I opted to get a 2002 Dodge Dakota R/T, and now I’m here. I wish I could go back to that moment and do it over.

What few concerns I had about the appearance of my car got destroyed in a hail storm last year. As long as it runs, I'm happy with it.

I'm 18 minutes late for work so far waiting for this tanker to fill up with tar. I cant back up either because it's a one lane road and there are umpteen tricks/cars behind me.
36000 or 50000 gallons full the sign says…

Expectation

@Filthy Bone apple tea!
I'll never forget the worst slice of pizza I've ever seen. My buddy ordered it, took one bite, and then threw it in the trash. I had to document the moment.
-
Edit: I was thinking about this again, and I didn't throw mine away. I thought mine was good. I have been carefully brainwashed to be grateful for everything, especially food. So I don't ever throw food away. I always eat it. But this was actually not too bad.
-
For a quick single, I've had Celeste and Red Baron. In this category I prefer Red Baron. Obviously, I would really prefer a true Pizza.

Microwave Mushroom Pizza hits different.

Man, fuck HGTV. Putting unrealistic expectations of project costs and/or timelines drives me insane. I just got done hanging a massive cedar floating shelf and the “how hard can it be?” comments are about to drive me up a wall. I’ve got well over 100 hours in it (plus >$800 in hardware, stain, etc) and it was a bear to get mounted correctly to put it mildly.

Oof. I feel this way about most home improvement diy. Good luck with it!
