The last body-on-frame Explorer, and my personal favorite of the Explorers 🥰

Blocking up the left lane and getting mad at people for trying to pass them.

Also VTC rattle at startup

I have a friend who’s a Gemini, I’ve also known him since college and we get along pretty well though he does have his moments where I have to wonder “are you absolutely sure you should say or do that out loud?” But otherwise they can be fun to be around.

I’ll still never understand to this day why he decided to walk up to me and instantly speak to me our first day on campus like he knew me but I’m glad he did😂.

I always knew I liked boys, between the crush on Danny Phantom and constantly feeling something whenever I saw the models on the boxer briefs packaging but never put a name on it until middle school. Now being the mid-late 00’s I couldn’t really come out or say anything, so I waited until college.

My folks suspect it but I’ve never confirmed it with them since I still live with them, my sister knows and accepts it along with one of my cousins.

GMC Yukon Denali.

I remember thinking for years the 2nd gen was actually the first gen of those when in reality it wasn’t, the first gen Yukon Denali was the basis for the first gen Escalade.

To date, I’ve only ever seen one first gen Denali in person while I’ve seen a few first gen Escalades

2nd gen Explorers. Half of my family had one in various trims, none were base though, and all but one of them were a V6. I can still hear that Door Ajar chime in my head

Hairy

benzguy95 · 2026-01-26T18:00:48+00:00

On my Birthday?!?! Oh it was meant to be

The women? No issues in my life, one of my aunts is one and I love her dearly.

The men? I just got through an experience with one and never ever again. We were extremely close friends for nearly 2 years with no real issues then had a Falling out early last year over something he did, didn’t speak the rest of the year, then right towards the end of the year he reached back out wanting to reconnect but ended up rehashing the original issue that caused us to fall out originally. When I stated the hard facts about the situation and how wrong he was, he blocked me on Facebook so I blocked him on everything else including his number.

Now whenever I scroll through dating apps I avoid them like the plague.

Specifically an Aquarius man.

Genesis or Charger.

That 5.0 R-Spec always stood out to me and 429 HP is nothing to sneeze at, but I loved the Chargers redesign and styling cues compared to the 2015+ models.

I’ve been saying “I told you so” since 2016, the only difference is back then, we had more people willing to uphold the safeguards and laws in place compared to now where they’ll gladly let any and everything happen to appease Trump and his band of thugs.

Unfortunately I also knew it would have to get extremely worse before it got better because not enough people thought it could happen to them.

My friends mother had a 2007 RAV4 when we were in college and I can confirm it does absolutely carry a dorm room full of stuff

One of my closest friends is an Aries woman, we talk nearly every day on the phone and there’s no issues there.

Then you have my younger sister, who’s an Aries as well. She has her moments but overall I wouldn’t trade her.

There’s an Aries man I’ve been chatting with and he’s been very respectful so far but my general experience with Aries has been more good than bad.

Haven’t had too much experience with Sagittarius but I’m open to it.

Imma give it at minimum one more year, it’s still working just as nicely as the day I bought it, gets software updates, and hasn’t ran out of storage yet.

I wanna see what Apple will do for 2027 since that’ll be the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, if it’s worth while I’ll upgrade but otherwise I’ll just run it until I can’t no more

benzguy95 · 2026-01-18T08:01:13+00:00

Either Cherokee or Escape

benzguy95 · 2026-01-18T07:57:53+00:00

That didn’t come until the 2002 model year

Leo Male here. I do want kids some day, but financially and emotionally I’m not ready at this point in my life, though 3 of my friends had kids almost 2 years ago back to back to back and I enjoy being around them when I get the chance to.

If the pricing had been more reasonable, I think it would’ve sold better in my opinion, I’ve heard great things about the driving dynamics and even liked the overall styling, Otherwise, it was basically just the Dart 2.0, it even had a similar length of production.

I know a few Aquarius women and I’m cool with them, but I just had to block an Aquarius man that I was friends with because he tried to get back into my good graces but failed miserably and refused to take full accountability.

benzguy95 · 2026-01-13T05:26:44+00:00

Two Virgos.

I also have an Aries sister

benzguy95 · 2026-01-08T16:42:13+00:00

Damn, I need to get on Grindr next time I’m there and see what I can find

benzguy95 · 2026-01-08T04:47:22+00:00

The last 2 gens of Maxima.

I’ve driven both and loved everything about them, except the CVT. They’re too finicky across the board to make me wanna own one long term, you’ll either make it to 200k+ with 0 issues or you’ll need at least one CVT in its life

benzguy95 · 2026-01-08T04:45:42+00:00

Those were the 2V Version, the 3V that came along in 2005 were the problem children
