I got a cat. She was in foster houses for 2 years. she's super friendly and purry and only wants love. I can't believe she was there that long.
She was originally named Captain but never responded to it so we renamed her Sansa because we already have a cat named Arya and we're stupid nerds. I think she responds to it?
I also traded in my old car after 165,000 miles of dedicated service to absorbing my farts while I drove an hour to work every day. I was close to paying it off and found out there was still some value left in it beyond that. So I got this spaceship lookin thing that I'm sure @priusrepellent would approve of
(Not my actual car. I didn't take any pics of it outside. just some interior shots I sent to the spousal unit when I test drove it, but basically this is the same color/model i found online) It's a 2016 prius. My 2013 prius was the base model and like I said had a shit ton of miles. Never had any breakdowns. All I ever had to do was change the oil. But I had some money left in it and figured what better time to trade it in than before it actually causes trouble. Plus I got a good deal on a top trim one. Still getting used to some of the safety stuff they added. The cruise control will pace with any car in front of it even brakes down to a stop if there's bad traffic. And it yells at me if I get too close to the lane lines. It also beeps a bunch when I'm parking and getting close to stuff. (they also took out the spare tire, so I kept the one from my trade in. they at least kept the wheels the same size over the years).
Speaking of annoying beeps. Priuseses (Priuiii?) have this backup beeper that goes off in reverse but only inside the car, not outside. it's super annoying. I bought a Carista OBD2 thing. It gets into the car coding stuffs and can disable a few things that a dealership would totally charge a ton for. I turned off the backup beep and seatbelt warning and set it so all the windows open if I hold down the unlock key. Pretty nifty for $20
