Cars, Memories, and Experiences

                I currently drive a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST. When looking back at the history of cars I’ve owned and driven, it’s probably objectively the best car I’ve ever had. I could go on about why, but it would just be one of thousands of other “slow car fast” articles combined with, used car guy owns a newer car for the first time, so I’ll spare you.  Despite being the best car I’ve owned, I often find myself longing for past cars that are in many ways objectively worse. The 2 I miss the most are of course, my baby, the 1994 Acura Integra LS that is my online namesake, and the 1995 DSM I owned a few years after the Integra. Lately I’ve been trying to figure out why this is. Were they better cars than I realized and I just wanted the latest and greatest, failing to realize what I had? Is the Fiesta not really all that great? The more I thought about it, the more I realized, there was one difference m...

Welcome to a new decade!

 It's been a WHILE! The year, 2026. Gone are the blog days, and even vlog days, we are now in the thick of the "short form" era. At the start of this year there were online jokes that 2026 was going to be 2016 all over again. The mannequin challenge along with other memes and challenges of the time resurged for a little while. I brushed it off, but as I was looking through my Google Drive and came across this... I think I may embrace this. I think I'm going to bring back blogging for 2026! I'd love to bring back vlogging too, but being realistic, I just don't think I have the time to do all of that, although I do love it. So even though it's the end of Feb, welcome to 2026, the year of the BLOG!!

Coors Banquet, new decade, same shit

One of the things that’s made me laugh as I’ve come back to this blog and looked at some of the older posts, is how 10 years later, as much as things have changed, they’re also the same in a lot of ways. For instance, one of the posts that caught my eye was from May 11, 2016, I did a YouTube review of Coors Banquet beer back when I was trying to do a lot of beer reviews. What made me laugh is I had just picked up a 6 pack of it after not drinking it for YEARS, easily 2 or 3 years. I probably had these stashed away somewhere at that time, but I took pictures of them to send to my brothers.   My grandfather was a bit of a hoarder, and one of the things he collected was matchbooks. He had HUNDREDS if not thousands of them. Of course this was one of my favorites. The Coors branding has always seemed frozen in time to me, somewhere in the 70s or maybe early 80s. I look at that matchbook and think about what it must have felt like to spark up a Marlboro with these as you crack open a...
