This summer has been a rollercoaster for me in terms of my daily driver.
I've been dailying a Lexus IS350 for the past 2 years. Until my transmission took a **** last month. I replaced the transmission but overfilled it with fluid and the second one went out as well. Decided to park it until I calm down and fix it again.

After the IS350 decided that "it's not you, it's me - I need time", I reverted back to driving my Infiniti FX35. This was my first "real" car (not because a 2005 Prius isn't a real car [we aren't going to talk about it], but because I actually paid for it). This has been my back-up car for awhile and also a utility vehicle to haul **** (e.g. a donor Cobalt from Idaho).

So, why rollercoaster you may be asking? Well, I calmed myself down and went to my brother's shop to see if I can use his lift to fix my Lexus' transmission. Upon finding an open space in his yard to park and pre-occupied with the modern advancements in technology such as texting, I put the FX in a ditch. Turns out it wasn't a parking space, but a trench overgrown with grass. Long story short, me fuming, went and purchased a Lexus ISF i have been eyeing for a while now.

Here's the sad part. Same night after the coast trip, the ISF got vandalized. I was heart-broken. Why, oh why? Thankfully, insurance is picking up the tab. About 10k in damages. My apartment is like a carbon fiber weaving facility - so many parts... I'm picking it back up in 4 weeks. Soon... Soon... Anyways, onto my next daily driver:
LITTLE TREES automotive air freshner
Top 100 Spotify playlist
I should probably get at least 1 of my cars fixed.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. I am very very pissed.
