I have this irrational desire to replace my current car born out of pure vanity. For my age and the amount of money I make, I sometimes feel I'm driving something a teenager would have. (The teenagers around where I live, the ones around where I work drive much nicer cars than mine). The car runs perfectly (aside from the speedometer that takes the occasional day off) and it's quite fun to drive.
The only real problem is the sheer amount of road noise it lets in. However, I "fixed" this problem with a nice radio. I suppose as long as it makes absolutely no sense to replace it, I won't.

I felt that way when I bought my Focus. All their marketing stuff was geared towards people just out of college buying their first car.
I think the fact that most of the cars of the same year, model, and style as mine are adorned with custom wheels, massive tail pipes, and silly looking wings is what really does it.
At the moment, I'm looking at using this: [link]
Failing that, there's also: [link]
It's the opposite of hyper-serious 17-year-old me, who ignored the salesmen's spiels about speed and acceleration and sporty look, peppering them with questions about mileage, maintenance costs, and braking power instead. My car could have looked like a Ford Model T and I wouldn't have cared as long as it got the job done.
Anyway. I will stop being a downer.
Hey guys! I'm shopping for a new dresser! And since I'll be saving money every month on parking, I can splurge on something cool!
I am in Newark Airport!
It is more of a shithole than I remembered. And what the hell is with making you go through security again when you change terminals?
Oh God, I had to do that at...O'Hare, I think, maybe? It was stupid.
That is cool, JZ. I need to do some measuring tonight so that I don't order something too big for the space I have.
