1988 Chevy Caprice. She only has 262 CID V6 but I love her nevertheless. She has a street performance TH700-R4 transmission with 2400 RPM stall torque converter which is kind of stupid for this tiny engine but anyways she's a reliable and semi fuel efficient partner. She's an old taxi with more than 350k miles on the clock so she needs some maintenance and care. Fuel prices have been surprisingly cheap at 6,35 $ per gallon so I don't have to count every penny when I'm out there motorvating.

@moiralabrecque03 Here's some pictures of my Caprice.
New front seat 1/2 installed https://imgur.com/jEyLXM1
Water pump change https://imgur.com/fycSWAw
Probably installing new ignition switch or hi/low beam switch. I don't remember anymore. I have changed them both and it was almost similar operation https://imgur.com/mQMm4Vs
Shotgun side rocker panel had some rust https://imgur.com/d2btKCD I made new panel using wise grips and angle grinder https://imgur.com/nGMqlPv New rocker panel welded https://imgur.com/J0UQJyP Painted with primer using spray gun https://imgur.com/8FighBl It turned out pretty good.
I had to also fix driver's side rocker panel. It was even worse https://imgur.com/R7a1guN
Both frame rails were almost cut in half https://imgur.com/lsd91DZ So I had to make some reinforcements https://imgur.com/wQV8myL
Driver's side quarter panel had some rust https://imgur.com/la8P1o0 In the background you can see my best friend. 3 phase 380 volt Kemppi mig/mag welder.

Friday and beer. Here's the lyrics if you were interested https://lyricstranslate.com/en/kaljalaulu-beer-song.html

Bought some mac & cheese from Lidl today and noticed that the Swedish instructions had a hilarious typo. "Använd inte en minigun eller ugns grillfunktion!" (do not use a minigun or grill function of your oven). Now I have this image in my head of your average Swede having a minigun right next to his toaster.

Out of curiosity. How high is your rent and how big is your apartment? My rent is 540€ and I live in a typical 27,5 square meter one room suicide apartment. I think it's annoyingly expensive. Other expensive things that grind my gears: Obtaining a motor vehicle. Thanks to car tax that is included in the price of new vehicles. Owning a motor vehicle. Annual vehicle tax for my car is 440$. In return for that money I get nothing. Oh, and the mandatory periodical technical inspection is 100$ every year. Driving a motor vehicle. Regular gas costs about 6,5$ per gallon (again high taxes). Food is expensive, beer is expensive, cigarettes are super expensive. Basically everything that you can find in a supermarket is expensive.

TNP-B periscope for T-54/T-55 main battle tank. Not sure what I'm going to do with it. It was just too cool not to buy. I'm guessing someone salvaged it when Finnish Defence Forces were upgrading their equipment years ago.

Oh dog, I chipped about 1/5 of one of my back tooth when eating Karelian pie this morning.
How is this even possible? Karelian pie is softer than the food at Mc Donalds.
I didn't even realise it was part of my own tooth until I had thrown it in the trash bin and started wondering how it got into my food.

My thoughts exactly. I kinda knew my teeth are not in that good shape but I didn't know it was this bad. Let's see how expensive this will get.

The free public healthcare only charged 59€ to repair my tooth. Private sector price would have been around 180€ so I saved about 120€. Then again I paid over 6k€ in taxes last year and this is the only thing I got in return.
At least the service was 6/5.
