    To each their own :) I grew up on farms and in mechanic shops my whole childhood so a fascination with them was born in me early on. I've spent a lot of time working on machinery and using tools was among my favorite things to do. I felt most fulfilled when I could take something that wasn't working properly and make it work, much like when I was able to run my custom PC for the first time. I can only imagine it was how Dr. Frankenstein felt when his zombie came to life :D

    I've spent my whole life fascinated with them. My biological father was a mechanic and I learned much of what I know about them from him. 

     

    Cars are amazing machines. A true modern marvel.

    Of course I wash my car just a couple days ago and it snows...

     

    And if you know anything about precipitation in Oklahoma, you know it also precipitates dirt a lot of times. And brown likes to show very well on white paint.

    I have a love-hate relationship with my Honda. I love this car. It's probably been the best car I've ever driven. Not because it's fast or it attracts girls (by the way guys, cars don't attract girls unless that's what they're into). Because with all the crap I've given it, that motor is still alive. It's like "engine failure" isn't in the vocabularies of those Japanese engineers. I've seen this with Hondas and Toyotas. They're just extremely reliable cars. 

     

    Seriously...dem miles...

    I've heard stories of you being able to rev the crap out of Hondas after they hit 100k miles. I'm pushing 200k and if I need to put the pedal down to get out of a situation or make a quick move, I can do it. 

     

    I also don't like it that it's so old though. Even the most reliable machines will at some point fail. I feel like it's only a matter of time because I've done so much major crap to this motor...At one point a fan motor went out and I didn't realize it until I got to work and my radiator hoses cracked, draining all my antifreeze into the parking lot and my engine was spewing steam. The temp gauge was right on red. I had the hoses and fan motor replaced. Literally no work done on the engine itself at all. It still runs like a dream despite that. 

     

    There was another time I was pushing it well past redline (like...8,000+ RPM where it redlines at 7,400). It spewed smoke when I got home. It was a solenoid. No work at all done on the motor.

     

    Why this car is alive, I do not know. All I know is that it keeps running no matter what hell I put it through, which is why I'm so reluctant to replace it. I guess I'll figure it out as I go along.

    Would it be weird if I said I like western novels?

     

    The adventure of setting off into the unknown of the old American West is just so exciting! The danger and need to survive. Being quick to your holster and solid down the iron sights, your trigger finger discerning and true, all to protect you from the unknown. You build your own home in a settlement where everybody relies on each other to survive for the lonely man does not last long here...I love it :squee:

     

    Also blacksmiths are awesome!

     

    I mean there were definitely a slew of problems then. Like slavery and lack of healthcare. But at the same time, I think that would only add to the excitement of living in the time. Innovation was at a high. Inventions were being cranked out left and right from people like John Deere and Nikola Tesla. There are perks and drawbacks of living in any time period.

    The oddest thing in that entire clip, is how it looks like Lyra's wearing men's pants.

     

    The women I work with tend to wear slacks too. It's a very professional look.
