Mine was yesterday, I bought a papa john's pizza of medium size and some garlic knots. I was feeling like shit because my job and store is very good at that, so I stress ate. I contemplated in the car which would've been more valuable for my buck to dine with. I picked pizza.

$20 (more like $27 but I took away the price of the knots) was what it cost for a meats-based medium sized pizza from there. The problem I had with the pizza was that it didn't look like a medium, it looked like the smaller-end of a medium. Secondly, the person cutting the slices did a shit job, because I had two smaller slices than the rest. And I felt there wasn't enough meats spread evenly.

I honestly should've picked a chinese buffet because at least I would have variety and I could eat as much as I wanted. Plus saving a few dollars.

This is the first and last time I'm ordering something out of my comfort budget.

2011 Jetta TDI. Newly married, my husband has a weakness for shiny new things. He had a 2008 Jetta and wanted to sell it and “upgrade” to the more efficient and environmentally friendly (er, about that) TDI. A few years later we bought a second TDI.

If you’re not familiar with Dieselgate, well, yeah, we got defrauded basically. Long story short, we ended up selling both and replacing them with…

Teslas. Sigh. Fuck me.

Well, that's some luck you've had.

I've actually thought about looking for an old TDI, since it's a bit different, more resistant to American trade issues and possibly in my budget. If you're in a rural area it actually is greener, too.
