So remember the post about my old car? I donated it to the Little Tokyo Service Center. Basically what that means is, they get someone to pick up the car, tow it to a junk yard where they auction it off for cheap. I’m sure they split money with the LTSC and so on. I have no idea how much the cuts are, but for the amount of work the LTSC does for this, I’m sure it must be 50/50. I get some paper work, and it says something about $500 being a certain amount that the car was sold for. But really, it was confusing, it said something about them telling me later. I was confused. So I write them an email asking how much it sold for. Guess what? $200! That’s fucked up! So in reality, the LTSC probably got $100, and the car went to some dude who’s gonna fix it and sell it for a lot more. I’m sure a single seat was worth more. What about the windows or wind shield, or even the rear view mirrors? The full sized spare tire has to fetch at least a hundred. This once great car that still started up and sold for a whopping $200. Where are these auctions. Can I get a great car for $1000? I’m glad I took the freebie tools that came with the car. If I prorate those, they must be worth pennies.

The pigeon and it’s turd on one hat. What a great design from Staple. The infamous Pigeon from the nike Pigeon dunk, and the silkscreened shit makes for an amazing combo. The pink New Era logo is strange, but oh well. This is a cool hat. Maybe the bird ate some of these. Olestra causes anal leakage in some people and maybe in birds. I ate a bunch not knowing what the heck was going in me. Why do they still bother making this?!
