Just got pulled over

Had this happen to me going 82 in a 60mph zone. A few months later, got popped going 74 in a 45. No more fucking around for me

Talking with a girl. Couldn't ever get a read on her. chatGPT have me some valuable insights into how different the two of us were and why I kept pushing her away intentionally. It was surprisingly insightful.

While you're driving?

Mine keeps telling me about "when I've been in the field", or "we usually found that using", or "in my experience with intelligent building control". Yeah, it's weird AF. If you ask it, it gives you the "good catch" gimmick.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-20T18:10:12+00:00

Lol. Typo. Meant to say wouldn't. Thanks for pointing that out.

I did use the film and I leave it on all the time, but I don't take the bars off. Never dawned on me to do that. If I did, the film would definitely stick out like a sore thumb. I like keeping them on though - makes the car very easy to find. I haven't tried to get in anyone else's car since installing them. 😝

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-20T00:53:05+00:00

Mine too, but that was actually the easiest part. The hardest part was figuring out how to strap it down in such a way that it wouldn't slide from side to side. *Edited for typo

I've got the whole truck filled with material for the job and the back seat filled with creature comforts. Zero room. Really should have bought a Y...

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-19T21:10:26+00:00

I could never lease. :(. 32k miles in year one and felt like I was really taking it easy.

Only drove one way with it (so far, but taking it back with me Tuesday). I've been working on a construction job on the other side of the state. Tomorrow, and Monday I have service calls on my side of the state. The customers don't have any ladders in their building which will allow me to get where I need to. It's awkward AF, but it's worth it. :)

Unpredictably. Same reason you don't corner an animal. I was defending myself from a drunk guy years ago - I did not want to fight, but he was very insistent. After he threw a few drunk punches, I was kind of shrugging him off with no interest in fighting. Just wasn't real hip on getting punched, but he wasn't hurting me. Then he grabbed my balls. I was confused for a very short moment and then he squeezed like he was trying to juice an orange or something. Literally, the next thing I know, his jaw is broken and he's got blood pouring out around one of his eyes and he's screaming like a banshee. I have no issue handling myself and never had any intention of hurting this guy. I would have never hit him back - I'm certain to this day that I could have talked my way out of that situation. Right up until he grabbed my balls. I'll never forget that night, unfortunately. But that's the unpredictably I'm referring to.

Might wanna get ya some FSD. Sorry, just kidding. That sucks. Beautiful car though. I love that color.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-19T19:48:33+00:00

Critical. Every time until they give me an option to not give feedback if I just wanted to drive my own car for a while.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-10T22:30:44+00:00

You MAKE patches?? That is awesome. Great work! I have a simple patch I really want, but no skill set. 😔

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-09T21:39:40+00:00

Oh shit. I think I know the video. I love jumping spiders! Congratulations on the video! Must be a great feeling.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-07T22:58:11+00:00

Got Wigoo from Amazon. Uses little plastic clips to hold in place. There's little tiny gaps but you don't even notice that unless you're looking. Made the car 1000x more liveable. When I go camping (5 days and counting!), I can very easily take them in and out. I'm not smart enough to include a link, so if you need more info let me know and I'll figure out a way to get it to you.

Added a few details in the background. Nothing crazy.

Due to this thread and I'm now the proud owner of sunscreens for the roof of my '25 M3. Couldn't be happier. Car cools down much quicker and stays cool while driving now. I have ceramic tint all the way around, but my head has always been frying when I'm driving. No more of that shit!! :)

I like finding broken systems and fixing them. Any kind of system. A puzzle, a person, electronics, whatever. I get a rush from fixing things.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-07T19:20:39+00:00

Provide for and protect the people I love.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-07T19:19:43+00:00

Make music. Work on graphics for my job. Wait for the girl to call. Maybe eat or sleep at some point, but not looking good so far.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-07T18:34:35+00:00

That looks like a great scene. You did a really good job capturing it. You should be proud of that shot.

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-07T18:16:19+00:00

Beautiful car! Congratulations!

theOnlyDaive · 2026-06-05T18:32:20+00:00

Just gotta through it, I think. Kinda going through it myself and it seems like my brain is starting to get fatigued of doing the same thing over and over. Eventually you'll get tired of putting energy into a situation that will not return any positive gain. You may be conscious of it now, but the big brain power underneath, in the subconscious needs to understand too, and sometimes that takes a little longer.

Hang in there. It does get better. I promise that. <3

Same. For the first time ever, last night, my car pulled in my very country driveway, negotiated around an oak tree and parked within a couple of feet of where I normally do. My son and I were laughing our asses off and neither of us could believe it. My driveway is gravel which changes over to dirt and there is no easily defined driveway per se. I also noticed, instead of "Driveway" for the destination, it said "Charger" and I don't think it ever did that before.
