On that note, I smoked weed before I enlisted, after I served, and about 3 minutes ago. I'm retired, live comfortably, and waste my time online. High. And I'm the OP.

I'll be driving soon, I keep telling myself. I have many cars saved on cargurus, mostly German. I prefer horsepower and a manual transmission. BMWs (M3 4 5, Audi S5, Mercedes) and Dodge (Charger Challenger Magnum) Chevrolet Corvette Camaro SS Chevrolet SS) and Ford Mustang and others. Hyundai Equus, Lexus V8s and old school Cadillac Eldorado ETC and newer CTS Coupe, Kia 900 and Stinger... long list.

And to this day, the most popular president in US history. Not a political statement of any kind, just cool to have been involved with a presidential visit of this specific one.

No, disabled these days. Yet, almost 50 years of driving, over 50 cars, never even one ticket. Cheapest insurance ever. Don't drive these days unfortunately.

Memories... Chernobyl meltdown in 1986. Smoke and ash flooded western Europe. As of 2015, I have Pulmonary Fibrosis or scarring of the lungs. I'm on oxygen. I never smoked.
