Post a picture you took today

[Vicinity]

Channeling Clarkson here and thinking it looks like a RX7 shacked up with a Beetle. My neighbor had one and the alarm would go off when it rained

@CDsDontBurn you like these extended cab RX’s right? Spotted it leaving Costco with a particularly moody misty evening.

Dude, I love me the RX-8! Definitely one of the better JDM cars out there of its era, despite the rotary's flaws.

Mine lasted 45k miles before I crashed it (lost control, went over the side of a mountain while canyon carving).

I have more pictures at home, but these few are what I have on my Google account the day of recovery

Bummer. Sorry you lost the car. Yeah, got to be careful canyon carving. Do it on the road, not off of it.

I was a young dumb kid (24) when I crashed it. Lesson learned. Don't go canyon carving with TSC off, at night, on a road you're not familiar with, with tires that only have ~20% tread life left.

If you look up Glendora Mountain Road (GMR) canyon driving on YouTube, you'll find a few hundred videos on drivers here, and likely a few spills, like mine, lol. I'm sure @Chingon1 is at least familiar with the road being a SoCal native himself as well.

@Vicinity thanks for the tip, I’ve just been wrapping in seran wrap and putting em in a glass Tupperware. I like my steak medium well so I usually cook the outside good enough then slice them into smaller pieces to cook the inside better, I’m not much of a rare guy that shits hectic haha

@CDsDontBurn oh yea definitely, in my younger days I had a Honda del sol (that’s a GREAT car btw) and took it up to the Azusa canyons with my buddies and almost ran it into a tree on my side haha also dead of night. Then I drove that same route during the day and scared the shit outa myself, I didn’t realize YOUR LITERALLY ON THE FUCKING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN

These pictures make me not want to see Pearl fixed up

As promised, now with more cat.

These pictures make me not want to see Pearl fixed up

It's going to be a bit still. I need to make room in my garage so I have working room on Pearl, and for that to happen, I need to finish up some projects at home.

The front of the house project has been on hold for various reasons, weather being the most recent one (Christmas weekend and New Years weekend).

My wife and I both want floors put in.

Then my wife wants a shed built in the backyard, which will also help with space issues in the garage when that's done.

But once it's all done, I can start working on Pearl again. Hopefully, because it's been a lot of this each year

Nice! Like our cars, those are getting to be more and more rare.

I was in Charlotte NC today. My uncle took me out to the Museum of Illusion and it was really neat! This place is full of optical illusions that are everywhere from neat, to that's cool!, to WTF happened?!

The one spot that really had us tripping the most was the glow in the dark whirly tunnel thing. No joke, the only thing moving is the tarp, but as you set foot in there, your brain gets disoriented and your body just falls to the right!

Afterwards, we went to old Winston-Salem to look at historical buildings and whatnot, and it was hella cool stuff. The thing I keep wondering about these super old buildings is, how many people have died there over the centuries ?

Cool! You did make it to Old Salem after all. I didn't know that illusion museum was in Charlotte. I'll have to check it out.

We'll head up to Pilot Mountain tomorrow if you haven't seen it yet and into the mountains. We don't canyon carve here, we carve up the mountains.

Illusion Museum location. Pricing was $31 for adults and $27 for kids (12 & under) at the door. Various discounts for military, students, etc as well. They seem to prefer you to buy tickets online, but you can show up and pay at the door as well. Because it's downtown, parking is a bitch, but there is a parking structure literally next door that will ass rape you in ticket pricing. Or if you're lucky, you can park literally across the street for free, but you only have 2hrs to go through everything or else risk getting ticketed or towed. It took us almost 3hrs to go through everything.

I can't wait to see these mountains you speak of!

that will ass rape you in ticket pricing

Par for the course when it comes to a parkade to be honest

When I’m going downtown for something I always park outside of downtown and take the light rail in from the Scalybark station. It’s a pretty ride, parking is free and the light rail is cheap.

It always amazes me how visitors find or go to stuff that locals rarely or never do. I'm guilty of it too, even though I live in a town of around 120k people there still a lot I know I haven't been to. Maybe because we think it's so close it'll be easy to do someday?
