I GOT A CAR

January 4, 2023

My dads mechanic, Ted, hooked me up with this old Volvo wagon. It was his customers car and he (Ted) has been servicing it for the last decade. The good thing about that is that they seemed to have taken good care of it. It's got a ton of miles but they've done a lot of work on the engine. They also replaced the Turbo (so this wagon is zoomin on the freeway), but the bad part is the speedometer doesnt work (so I dont know how much im zoomin). The seats are also pretty torn up.

• Per Ole Simstead's HOMEPAGE: I was searching the Geocities archive (the personal blogging site from the 90s) for some inspirition and came across the page of a Norwegian guy named Per Ole Simstead. There are some really great photos of his cars and with his family.
• The west coast really is the best place to buy a car. Idk if a car this old would have survived the winters on the east coast (with all the salt).

AU REVOIR MONTRÉAL

January 1, 2023

Its been réal Montréal. After nearly 7 years, we've decided to pack up and head for less snowy pastures. I always had a rocky relationship with Montreal, but I'm incredibly grateful the community that I've grown with there. Like many of you, I've already moved cities a few times now, and I am sad to add yet another crop of wonderful people who I will miss dearly to my long distance friendship list. until next time, I'd like to keep this blog going as an effort to stay connected with everyone. I'll try to keep these brief as a courtesy to everyone!

À LA PROCHAINE! (pictured; Veronika at the one and only NOUVEAU SYSTEM)
