27- Second Project Car

They say that people with loud vehicles are overcompensating — Because they have extensive knowledge about cars but no one cares. My car sounds like a Tesla (when it’s not running) so I can discuss these things fairly and meaningfully. The best place to start is with an initial project car, which is awkward because [...]

26- RECONSTRUCTION

If I were to deconstruct those Cracker Barrel Christians, I would do so by comparing them to tight pants. This does seem to be a cultural result, and there are other aspects as well. The transition from clerical robes to tight jeans with holes, how massive and elaborate pulpits have become mobile podiums, how choirs [...]

25- PREDESTINED

First, I did not anticipate graduating from college. My ambition was to be in a touring band by the age of twenty. I held a meager [...]

18- IS THAT A SUPRA?!

This will sound sarcastic but I do appreciate strangers stopping me in a parking lot to tell stories of when they drove a car like mine. These moments are exceptional when restoring a 23-year-old vehicle. Most people do not relate to such a process, especially since buying a newer car can be cheaper and better [...]
