  • Hell yeah, bought a Firebird off a friend, the tail lights lit up to say:

    FIRE BIRD

    with custom JUDAS PRIEST carved into the center console.

    last two years I owned it I never changed the oil, just kept adding more, the exhaust would sometimes come through the back speakers, and the driver side door latch would fail sometimes and swing open on right hand turns.

    …best car ever







  • The institutionalization runs deep.

    The first time I moved out of the US I lived in a socialized medicine country & I just never went to the doctor. My then girlfriend casually went because she wasnt feeling well (a cold), then would go to the pharmacy for a birth control shot (no prescription needed), and finally when I had a fever and a doc came to the house at 2am (we just had to pay the taxi). I had a lengthy stay in the hospital, and a month of rehab, my employer’s nurse would stop by the house and give me an injection on his way home. And our son was born in a hospital with private rooms- all i had to pay for was my meals and overnight stay (there was a bed for me), plus the room had a mini bar…no shit.

    We moved back to the US to raise the kids and then out again i to another socialized medicine country and I STILL HESITATE to go to the doctors.
