    I haven't really confirmed that it's lost yet, it's just...unaccounted for.
    I think I had it when I got home last night, and I didn't notice it was gone until this morning. I either misplaced it or it fell out of my pocket when I climbed through the window of my car and was stolen at some point during the night or early morning.
    I had about 15 minutes to look for it before I had to leave until tomorrow., so I don't know if it's sitting inside my house somewhere or if some dipshit is going crazy with my debit card and $200.
    This sucks.

    Welcome to why my wallet never has more than £10 of cash in it.

    My wallet has currently $0.00 in it, besides the $3ish on my starbucks card. I haven't even touched it in forever.

    I love it. I love driving. It doesn't matter how bad things get, it all makes sense when I'm behind the wheel. It's like something clicks and the clouds lift. Full throttle, tires howling, feeling how the car is reacting. It's so amazing to push one to its limits, the point where it's fun. My truck is fun at the limit. Ancient suspension and an ancient construction just makes for some good old fashioned fun. Hearing the growl of a V6 and feeling it start to let go in the turns makes me happy, visibly happy. It's like the old saying, "it doesn't matter what you drive, as long as you have fun driving it." That statement is 100% true.

    I can't even remember the last time I bought something that *couldn't* be bought with a card.

    The only reason I ever have money in my wallet anymore is if I'm going to the bank later that day to cash it in.

    I usually keep less than $50 in my wallet, but I put a bunch of cash in it a few days ago and forgot to take it out.
    My luck.
    If I don't find it soon I'll be able to tell whether or not it was stolen based on my bank statement.
    Im such a cheap bastard, too. I try so hard to not spend much money and then I go and lose $200 just like that. That could've bought me 2 bumper covers and a new spotlight lens for the crown Vic, all 3 of which I would greatly appreciate.

    The Charger, Magnum, and 300 are all the same car underneath. It's just styling differences and probably suspension tuning or something. Also, the Magnum is a wagon while the other two are sedans (a 300 wagon was offered overseas but never in the states).

    So, that's a Magnum.

    TS3U? Wait, I confused the Sims codenames into the DS3U. I would love to have a DS3 ute.

    Broke a record in the crown vic
    16 whole mpg. That's not even driving very conservatively, either.

    I saw as low as $1.95, and a different station around here was at $2.03 on friday. I filled up for $2.18 earlier.
    It's great.

    I really want to know the legality of a non US registered car that isn't imported allowed to drive in the states, when I first came across that Ibiza, I really thought it was an Euro spec version, but the license plates were, "North American" sized, and evidently there's a strong market in Mexico for Seats, so my initial thought of it traveling from all the way from w/e country in South America was in the bin. But then the Toyota HiAce isn't sold in Mexico either, and that left me wondering if it's relatively easy to just drive to the US without using any plane or boat.

    Just done some conversions and maths. In the UK it works out to around $6.60 per gallon. Or in UK measures that would be £1.13 per liter.

    No small wonder cars here do about twice the mileage of equivalent US cars.
