Everyone knows better than to be out on the streets that day... 🥳

Once I meet a guy who’s actually gonna let me take the wheel more than twice, then I'll know he's serious. 😬

Ugh, amateurs. I'm out here tearing up the pavement 🥳

Honestly, I could use a good cruise, if it wasn't for all these damn other drivers on the road 🙂

Must be nice cruising out of Pula... we had to trek all the way from Split to Venice on a Greyhound bus. Beat that.😬

Hard agree. Cars, bikes, anything with wheels—not for me.😢

which hostel were you at?

Easterner hostel, just 200m from the top of Oranienburgestrasse. Highly recommend. You can walk to the Brandenburg Gate in 10-15 minutes; the place is small and cozy, open 24/7, plus there's a kitchen (fridge, dishes, appliances—all yours). Free Wi-Fi too. The crowd at the hostel was wild, and the owner is this totally fried guy (honestly, has the memory of a goldfish) who’ll do anything to make sure you're comfortable. There's a grocery store, bakery, internet cafe, pharmacy, and a restaurant right nearby. Top tier stuff.👍

Maybe the Miura, Peglica, and Autobianchi I'm bidding on over on eBay will make me feel better... 😉

Reminded me of you, but those prices were straight-up astronomical. I wouldn't have had anything left to eat.😢

Here, for those two days I was there last week:

Nah, I'm good. I've definitely gotten too spoiled for that 🥳

gentlepuma20 said:I'm out.God, man. 🙂 😁

Look, we Splitters just like keeping things short and sweet. 😍

honestly, it’s basically just asking to be robbed. 😬

Just kidding. I only steal the absolute ugliest postcards out there—I just can't help myself. 😁

Since I'm already on the subject—here are the 5 ugliest city postcards I've ever sent my friend:
An orange fish with a purple Venice belly.
Venice looks pretty bleak in this shot—captured in the rain with all those black seaweeds covering the Bath area, plus some dried-up agave right in the foreground.
Chicago, some crappy postcard showing those three skyscrapers by the river. Typical view, nothing special.
Chicago again, some crappy Photoshop job where they mashed together Senora, a window with flowers, a rose, a guitar, and the spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
St. Patrick's Cathedral—it’s basically a heart-shaped postcard with puffy clouds and some tacky lettering.

I had to grab a Trabant, you know how it goes. I’m obsessed with collecting them, just can't help myself.

Speaking of cars, we hit up that Ford's innovation showcase... they actually had scale models of all those rides for sale. stormyviper11 would've been all over that. 😁

Hamburger 🙏 🙏 🙏

stressee said:3. Life Magazine (though honestly, I think Cut Your Hair beat them out for third)

Man, what a blatant lie... 😍

1. Unfair 🙂

Walk! with your credit card in the air!! 🙂

Btw, NP Pavement - Baby Yeah 😍

Not trying to go totally off-topic here, but Slanted & Enchanted is definitely the #1 Pavement album. It’s easily one of my all-time favorites too. Been spinning it since my sophomore year of high school and I still never get bored of it.

Man, now I gotta go hunt down a cassette tape! :raznjez:

Count me in too.



What a joke of a list. Clearly someone was feeling extra sentimental after Valentine's Day. 😢

Dammit, I actually let my guard down for a second, wrote this whole deep, emo post about Valentine's Day, and then this garbage server just wiped it out! I was finally feeling all sentimental and now I'm right back to being a total menace. Honestly, I’m about ready to shove that block of ice straight up Darius's ass. Unbelievable. 😠

Current mood ranking:
1. sleepy
2. romantic
3. pissed off

The Beatles - Hey Jude

Uh. 😍 And then there's that Beck cover used at the end of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... 😢

coastalpanther11 said:You think that's bad?!

😲 Tina Turner! Faster Than the Speed of Light! Massive hair! Heartbreak! Heartache! Heartburn! Pure melodrama! How can anyone hate that?!

Everything. Her face. That voice. The melody. Ugh.

boldscout72 said::man, me and my buddy are just vibing out: 😁
