I bought a car.

Welp, here it is. a 2003 Mazda MX5 1.8L. The engine is supposed to push out 143hp as stock (which it probably lost a few over the years). Other than that, there's some rust on the sills, all for wheels are running different brand tires, and the electronics on the left door are a bit haywire.

After buying the car, the first thing we did was drain the old oil, bolted on a new oil filter, and swapped out the spark plugs with new ones. Our mate had some stuff bolted onto his Yaris as well: LED headlights, strut brace, a faux short shifter mod and some window shields.

The suspension is a bit soft to what I expect, but that may be from worn dampers and/or springs. It doesn't seem to deter it from gluing itself on the road when it comes to handling the corners. We put our cars through their paces in Wales, and my word this thing is a beast. It feels like it could drop most road cars in the corners!

It's a bit lame, but I've always dreamt about owning my own car.... It's finally happened, and bloody hell what a car.

Watching this gave me the fuzzies.

A change of view..

It's weird how we grow up thinking the war on drugs is a good thing, is actually one of the parasites that feed on the world's economy and communities. My generation has grown up being taught in school and by the media of how the war on drugs is necessary, but has always overlooked the actual problems that such a war creates.
 As the years go by and people are better understanding what goes on behind human's addiction to drugs, it's great how more people are grasping the real consequences of an outdated justice system that more often than not, punishes the victims rather than the offenders.

Another issue remains in how little emphasis modern society places on mental health, and psychological help as a whole. The average person is so quick to immediately shun someone if it means causing the him/herself pain or discomfort, without realising that the person that they reject are in even worse condition. It would be nice if psychological and mental health support is more available to communities. The world would be a better place if people learned to just discuss about differences, rather than just reject them.
