      I live in central Austin and I take my beater truck (which is so basic it has manual windows and door locks) on 95% of my errands around town.  It's got almost 200k miles on it, dings, dents and scratches everywhere and it's to the point where I hardly even notice new ones.

        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.

          That's the plan, to just drive it into the ground!  I had a bit of maintenance to catch up on when I bought it but it's been a trooper so far.

            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.

                      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.

                          If the travel over the pond wouldnt be that long i´d say you guys come over and i´ll whip you up a fine neapolitan pizza in my Ooni  😃 I´ve never seen Microwave Pizza over here i think, looks a little strange.

                            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.

                              I used to like the stouffer’s French bread pizzas. Any frozen pizza is far superior in an actual oven or toaster oven, though. Microwaved bread is squishy, and then hard.

                                  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.

                                          It's the absolute worst.  I owned a 100 year old row home in Baltimore with a friend and he was like: "hey how about we replace this dome light with a ceiling fan?"  We take the dome light off and it's just hanging from the drywall not a joist in sight!  The joist of course was ridiculously far from where we'd want the fan to actually be, so we had to cut away a huge portion of dry wall to mount an intermediate beam to mount the ceiling fan.  Of course it was like 3 days and 4 trips to home depot to finish it.  And don't even get me started on the time a drunk friend shoulder-barged through our (completely unlocked) door…
