  • 2013 Toyota 86. My parents bought it for me when I lived in Perth. Love it to death: the looks, the way it drives everything. Since moving to Melbourne It’s been sitting in a parking spot for 6 months. I feel terrible for it. If anyone knows any nice places to take it for a day trip or a couple day city getaway I’d love to know.

    So much makes it mine but if I had to pick one thing it’s the work I’ve done on it. I’ve done services, given it new wheels (after crashing and wrecking the old ones lol) and replaced parts. One particular thing I really enjoyed doing was getting a replacement throw-out bearing for it. A big moment for me was arguing with my dad about what was causing problems; listening to my gut over his advice and doing a massive job of taking out the gearbox and clutch. Im still riding the high I felt when I saw that rusted fucked up throw-out bearing. So happy that I managed to do such a big replacement part job without any issues.









  • People in the comments seem to be arguing if this will or will not save lives. I don’t really care if it does. I think it’s ironic that there’s a crowd of people arguing that human life is precious and we can’t celebrate this guy’s death when the guy in question is the antithesis of that philosophy; he dedicated his life to profiting off of the suffering of others. I’m glad to see him go. There are many more I wish would follow.

    I feel like 90% of people will only look at the first part of a thing tho.

    Book titles get read more than the book

    Movie posters get seen more than the movie

    Album covers get seen more than the album gets listened too.

    I did just pull all of this out of my ass though

    E: having read the article they’re talking about sharing an article not just reading it which would be different since I don’t think many people recommend other media they haven’t consumed
