Fluffy gazes upon an impeccably organized collection of maximum parsh.
I didn’t quite expect to get questions this personal for the first parshletter, but since !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I opened up about what I’ve been going through lately, and how much it sucks. Also, I demand that the World Endurance Championship Se-bring us all 1,000 miles, and rant about car colors. Parshletter No. 1 is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
This is the example post of shenanigans to come for anyone
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
to the parshletter, hence the public post. I’ll probably have Parshletter No. 2 (huh, huh) later this week, anyway.
Things have been bad, things are still bad, and I can’t imagine things getting better, but we’ll see. Weirdly, it felt good to get that out in the open. Suffering alone hasn’t helped, so I guess it’s time to let everybody suffer with me! (Just kidding—for the love of all things poly-fil, I certainly hope you’re doing better than I am.)
In the meantime, at least the 944 runs pretty well.
I’ll be posting all the places where my work appears up on the
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
as public posts, so bookmark that if you’d like to keep up with my latest work. Alternately, folks can
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
to get that list sent directly to their inboxes, or get the parshletter, other fun posts and other amusing things on top of that in exchange for a little more cash. It’s all explained on there, if you’re that interested.
Anyway, t
hanks again
for the questions, and enjoy the parsh!

If it makes you feel any better, I spent 11 months unemployed between April 2016 and March 2017.

You regularly take your F40 to radwood, but somehow you still need a patreon...
(I am joking of course)

To super make stef feel better, I was unemployed for 2 months this year with a hernia. I spent a solid week in constant excruciating pain. Now My wallet feels the pain.
Edit: I meant last year lol

Feel free to spam us regularly. I subscribed, even though I bought a Miata. I’ve taken a few buyouts myself; it’ll work out as long as you don’t go working for something like Carbuzz or Autoblog.

Also, have you considered doing the youtubes, along with a right wing clickbait website that isn’t associated with your name? I’m told that’s a winning combo.

Ha!
I’m afraid I’d rather not undermine public trust in my main gigs.
Also, I really,
really
hate video editing.

Hey, what’s wrong with Autoblog? I like those dudes over there.
(Don’t tell anyone, but t
he Miata is.........fine, so long as you’re enjoying it, and not being That Guy to owners of other cars.)

Oof. Yeah, hernias are no fun, and scary stuff to boot. Glad you’re feeling better.

Yeah. I’ve at least got the “I’m freelance!” part on my resume to cover the gap
, but that
really means, “I’m probably
having a long cry about how
no one really needs me around.”

Well, they didn’t recently suggest that sports cars are too high powered to be enjoyable, unlike some blogs that seem to misunderstand what a sports car is . Autoblog has been really shapeless for a while now, they’re like, 90% reposted PR releases at this point. I’d read them if you wrote for them though, ahem.
I bought my Miata specifically so I could have a fun car to abuse, unlike my Jag, which is a fun car that will destroy me if I have fun with it, so I’m probably safe there.

Sorry to hear you’ve been down, it’s cliche and you don’t want to hear it for the 356 th time (see what I did there) but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I was laid off in June 2017 and after what seemed like a dozen different interviews finally landed on my feet 6 months later, I love my job now and look forward to going to work.
On a d ifferent note are you going to the Indycar race with your stuffed friends, I just saw there is a Jalopnik meetup Sat night

I know I definitely want to watch the race, but there’s also a rallycross that Saturday that would be fun to go to. F
irst Indy weekend at COTA vs. track groomed well enough to hoon parsh is a tough, tough call. We’ll see, I guess. So, I may be showing up to the meetup in a parsh, or I might not be, all depending on what’s left after I pay bills (ouch) and/or how the weather holds out.

It might be a little muddy and my dad and I may need ponchos Saturday. I’ve wanted to try rallycross out there but my S4 is lowered now so that may not be the brightest thing I could do.

Boooooooooooo. If it’s wet, that’s the parsh out. It’s on Dunlop Z3s? and would most definitely get stuck or high-centered on something.

Just don’t let anyone tell you that your problems don’t count because they aren’t as bad as their problems, as that happens anytime I bring things up.
Depression is serious business. Just keep in mind: its ok to be sad. You have a strong reason to be. I ts not a problem as long as you don't let it affect your decision-making.
