    New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

    It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

    Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

    No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

      I always get sketched about the vibrations from my Kia when driving over 120, but I keep saying to myself it’s just that the car wasn’t designed to go fast 😅

    Tonight I’m at work and roomie texts a video of a water leak probably from the ancient upstairs bathtub faucet…that’s embedded in tile. Fucking tile. FUCK.

    The month prior the faucet vibrated loudly when I tried to use it. The plunger failing to seat. Guess it caused a crack.

    That’s why I drive an older gmc pickup

    Barely ever breaks and when it does it’s stupid simple to work on

    Imagine owning a car newer than like 2010 lol that’s for suckers

    Good thing I have a bike. My car broke down like 4 years ago, been biking since. People scare me, so I don’t have places to be.
