Autocross

No Photoshop trickery here. This is the same car I slid into a tirewall last night. Besides the crazy frunk gap and some fist-sized flat spots, my car looks spotless from a distance of 10 feet or more. Get close, and you'll see that the paint is cracked, scraped, and obliterated in places, and that there is a dodgy crease in the fender. I'll be washing, buffing, and touch-up painting tomorrow, as well as getting the alignment checked.

How did I do it? With an assload of help from my awesome girlfriend. It took us about 9 hours, but it was well worth it.

Today has not been a very good day. It began with an extremely intricate task at work, that was beset by technical difficulties that made even the simplest tasks impossible. The onset of new tax laws cutting into about $30 of my weekly paycheck was certainly unwelcome, and even the ATM I wanted to use to deposit said check was out of order. The guy who normally cuts my hair quit and the gas station around the corner from my house was out of order.
