I bought my first car last summer at 35, this is the first longer trip I’ll do in it (apart from looking at the northern most bus stop in SL’s area and also looking at Dannemora Gruva), I just had breakfast and am bow heading out in the beautiful weather
I have a 2021 Seat Leon PHEV hatchback, bought it last year, and today was the first major issue…
After visiting Eskilstuna, I stopped by Arlanda on my way back to see if I could take some good photos, I had my camera and locked the car, tried to get a few shots, but nothing interesting happened, then 10 min later, when I wanted to leave, the car would not unlock the doors…
I called for a mechanic, ha managed to get the driver’s side door open, pop the bonnet and with a battery booster, got me going again.
I suspect an old battery, and I will call a workshop on monday to get it checked out.
Yeah it’s weird. So much electronics in the cars now that they become unreliable. I heard that Volkswagens infotainment systems completely lock up sometimes and require a reboot. Luckily the car still works when it happens…
My Leon has been a really good car for me, I bought it used, with 15000km run on it, and now at 35000km this is the first big issue I have had.
As for infotainment issues, I have sort of had issues with mine, the main infotainment unit works fine, but the carplay link to my iPhone do get messed up from time to time, especially if it is running wirelessly.
I think it had more to do with radio interference and how the Carplay protocol is implemented rather than the infotainment in the car.
I have however found an external factor that has messed with my car’s built in navigation system, Russia spoofing GPS signals, I drove around the northern suburbs of Stockholm, and my car’s map thought I was driving in the southern suburbs and costantly moved my marker all over the place, my phone was fine though at the same time…
A town about 2h driving west of Stockholm in Sweden, they have a cool museum with stationary steam engines from their industrial history, there is another museum showing off more of it as well, including some swords, guns and rifles made in the town.
The wait is so draining. It dominates every part of your psyche and just makes your entire existence about itself. Don’t forget to exist during the wait.
For yourself, and for your wife - go do something fun that’ll demand your focus for a bit. Best of luck to you both. I hope for good news for you.
I had pizza last night and I’m at a stalemate as I sit here trying to decide what sounds good. If I don’t figure it out soon I might be having leftover pizza again myself lol. Cheers 🍷
A month ago I took a really long shot and actually messaged a girl’s Snapchat from a dating app. It took all the courage I had, but I just told her I was attracted to her and I wanted to be physical with her.
She’s almost 30 years younger than me, and drop dead gorgeous, and goth hot.
She’s on her way over right now for our third “date”.
Not saying this to brag, I’m saying maybe go browse a dating app and message hot chicks and see what happens. I still can’t believe this is happening to me but it is.
I was doing that a lot over the holidays, and decided to do a dry January. It is doing wonders for my gaming nights. You could try it next month (shortest one of the year, so a little less commitment).
