This is a 2013 MINI GP only 2000 made for worldwide, I like rare stuff. Despite this particular model’s rarity every MINI is the same at the core. A driver’s car or as I like to call it an Artpiece, since it will spend most of its time getting stared at in a garage, NOT FREAKING MOVING. *cough cough* Excuse my outburst. You think the stick shift & turbo 4 cylinder engine would be the fun part, but you’re dead wrong. MINI gets you to enjoy the driving experience like no other with constant lovely oil leaks, blown transmissions, engine misfires, and all sorts of other so called “issues”. But real car enthusiasts enjoy spending their time working on broken crap rather than actually driving said crap. Who doesn’t love a car with issues? I know I do. There’s no better way to enjoy a driver’s car then when you can’t drive it. Thank you MINI Cooper & Thank You BMW their parent company for making the best driver’s car in the world.

I bought a 2004 Mini twenty years ago and drove it until this year (164,000 miles). I replaced it with a 2006 Mini with 96,000 miles. Driving them brings joy to every trip! So small, so nimble, so ready to go go go.

It was love at first sight. I purchased my L.A. car for under $10,000 with only 70,000 miles on it and was basically in mint condition. I love this era of BMW: boxy but sexy, sporty and dynamic. It's the same car Dionne drove in Clueless, but the black-on-black version. My favorite place to drive it is through Beverly Hills (ALWAYS take Canon with the top down…). I loved its '90s interface so much that I had my guy, Avi, figure out how to install bluetooth while preserving the CD/tape console for its appearance. If you are ever shopping for a used car, particularly of a European vintage, you have to go to Avi. He's the most honest dealer in L.A. and he loves restoring old models. Whenever something little breaks or acts up on the beemer, he fixes it and doesn't even charge me. The day I bought it he told me "I would rather fix it for free than have some other mechanic fuck up my work. We're in this for life." I think relationships like this are so important.

I’m talking like 20+ years old. Not like a complete junker, but something that needs a little work that you can do yourself. It’s so fun to have as a hobby (somewhat expensive I do have to admit especially if you pick something German like I did). But very, VERY satisfying. Works best if you don’t really need to drive more than a few miles here and there.

Y’all remember Heelys right? You better, but if you don’t you’re gonna feel like a pleb for walking like a “normal” by the end of this. Heelys are the ultimate, most fun, quickest, & safest (prolly not safe) tool to travel short distances & get where you needa go. Shoes with wheels on the bottom, but not quite roller skates. Needa get into your $300,000 Lamborghini deathtrap? Why walk like a freaking loser when you can roll and have everyone wow’d at your utter egotistical degeneracy. Now that’s style!

One my fav albums. Like ever y’all. Any Shape You Tale wraps the personal woes of Indigo herself interpreted into vibey noise. Id you like personal albums or mellow guitar strings you can relax & fall asleep to; then Indigo is for you. Not just this album, but all of her work.

“Guess the Pokémon by its Cry” This website is stupid fun and a quick time passer if you’re bored. If you’re a Pokémon nerd like me then it’s exactly what it says it is. You pick a Generation of Pokémon, a Pokémon cry plays and you try guess from a multiple choice of 4, 10 times. I answer as fast as I can; my record is like idk 28 seconds. And I’m competitive so if you can do better hit my IG it’s a duel 🤺
