2008 Nissan Altima SE. Automatic Transmission. 205,000 Miles.

Tires keep looking like this and blowing out. Some friends suggest it's an alignment issue. Others said they checked my alignment and it's good. Driver's side rear looks like the car is almost sitting on the tire. Barely a gap. Passenger side has a normal look and eats tires also. This was the passenger rear tire. I've just bought this car 4 months ago and changed 6 tires on it already just on the back alone (x5) and front driver (x1)

Parts date from between ca. 1670-1770.

The more you look at it, the more things you'll see.

Shoutout to Fox 👍🏼

The rubber had peeled off of the plastic core a long time ago, but it was only after waking up the neighborhood when leaving Dubrovnik over the cobblestones that we became self-conscious enough to hunt down the replacement wheels for a bag purchased in the late 1900s.

Been slept with every single night since 1999, been mailed across the country, stuck out the window by her tail on the expressway, and been on more plane rides than most people. Still looking pretty good for 26!

I think they probably should have made the plexiglass barrier a bit higher. This is right next to the area where people wait for their orders, and the worn patch starts around 2 meters high.

For me, it’s my wallet.

Got it back in 2008.

That wallet has literally seen my whole life unfold.

It saw my first love.
My college days.
My breakups.
The exams I passed and the ones I failed.
It saw me graduate.
It saw the first salary I ever earned being folded and kept inside it.

It carried my girlfriend’s photo once.
Today it carries my wife’s photo and my daughter’s photo.

There were days it stayed completely empty.
But weirdly, having that wallet with me always made me feel like I wouldn’t run out of money forever. Like it had my back somehow.

It got old.
Fell into seawater once.
Got damaged.
Edges torn, leather faded.

But it still survived everything and kept going.

At this point, it feels less like a wallet and more like a silent witness to my life.

Building is around 53 years old and the door that opens is the one on the right, the left is usually only opened for moves and stuff

What a good boy 💯

This one was pretty worn. The top was dented and the chrome is almost all rubbed off down to nickel. I polished the case with Flitz, tightened and the hinge. /////For the insert I reshaped the body and chimney, removed the rusty cam spring, cleaned and polished with Flitz, installed a new string came spring, installed replacement Zorro wick, and repacked with the original and then supplemental cotton/rayon. /////It has a beautiful open/close action now. I filled it with fluid and used the plastic bag on the insert. This will be an interesting looking one to carry./////I wonder if there is a market for Zippos that have are “restored with original character” like this.

The old shirt is one of my most comfortable shirts. I can't place an exact date as to when I got it, it's so faded and threadbare in some places

I was looking for the newer shirt for a few minutes in my closet when I realized I was wearing it
