UPDATE: friends dad whos my go to mechanic told me about california paying you to get rid of your old car and since it still is driverable enough to make it to a junk yard and a few other qualifications I and it pass, it looks like I can get $1500 for it with very little work compared to whatever else I do so assuming I get accepted which is extremely likely once I finish the application I need to finish, the question becomes whether the insane cost of a new used car hurts more than... wait is

TrotCon 2022 has come and gone. Memories were made, ponies were purchased, and fun was had. As you can see, this time I didn’t make this road trip ‘70s style… mainly because working air conditioning is a plus in July. So for this road trip my not-so-little pony came out to play.

Yes, today really is my birthday. I wasn't really planning on writing anything for the occasion, but the idea popped into my head a few minutes after midnight. I finished it up after I woke up. Another self-insert for the Car Wash series.

There’s only so much that can go into a story, especially one with as many characters as 16 has. So I’m opening the floor to asking these characters questions. Post your reply with any questions you have and Snowcatcher will be happy to answer them (I’ll be editing this blog to add those questions). The remaining cast members will have their interviews posted when their chapters are done.

There's not much to really say about this one. 1,000 word stories are as short as this site allows, and while I can (and have!) gone into more words than that on the Mustang II, I don't think many folks here are reading this because they want to know all about unloved '70s cars.

I promise, we’re gonna talk about that big stupid F350 dually and the big stupid 6.4L diesel engine I replaced over the period of several weeks, but for reasons y’all will find out, I want to be sure it’s really fixed before I say anything about it.

Instead, we’re going to talk about automotive air conditioning.

(First watched September 16th, 2023.)

Watched this with my dad as well. Very good movie. I've never seen the original TV show "The Fugitive" but I know the basic elements - doctor on the run for a crime he didn't commit, trying to find the one-armed man, and being hunted by a determined officer of the law.

I apologize for the delay in releasing this chapter – technically this has been ready to post since December. There was a link to this chapter (including password for access) in the previous blog post (for Lulu Luck’s chapter expansion). Speaking of chapter expansions, expect Dewdrop Dazzle’s shortly.

Y’all know I’ve got a weak spot for ponies operating motor vehicles. Be they planes, trains, trucks, or automobiles.

Specifically Mustangs.

So of course I was onboard with a story featuring a bunch of obscure ponies driving Mustangs (and other Ford products) through the backwoods of Pennsylvania.

For the first time in the decade+ I've been on here, I'm using a car photo for cover art that I didn't personally take.

A mechanic blog post, we haven’t done one of these in a while! It’s been insanely busy at the shop; we’ve already hit our March monthly goal, in part because some people are spending their stimulus money fancying up their pickup trucks.

Which brings me to the subject of today’s blog post: IWEs. Not to be confused with IEDs, those are very different.

Who wants to learn about IWEs?

Merry Christmas and Happy Hearth's Warming to everyone!

A quick follow-up to last week's story. Minty had mentioned she was throwing a Christmas party, so why not continue the adventures a little bit?

Greetings my fellow bronies from around the world. Yes, it has been along time since we've done one of these. Hasn't it? Reason kinda being is that I'm running out of ideas now XP. Well, not so much ideas but really good ones to put up. I'm sure I'll get more as the season goes on (which is doing pretty good by the way), but we're going to be doing a special adoption agency today.

G'Day, Mates.

This is your honest and pleasant-minded film and TV show reporter here with another review.

And today, I'll be making my 44th film review by analyzing "The Fugitive".

Here's the summary of this all-time thriller and mystery film:

So where do we begin with this? Obviously, this fic is for Admiral Biscuit's contest challenge which has no deadline and no prizes. However, this is a thing I've been wanting to do for a long time since I love slice of life, I much prefer 'ponies on Earth' as opposed to 'humans in Equestria', and I'm a fan of his work. While this isn't my first ponies on Earth fic, I haven't wanted to step on AB's toes since, frankly, he created and defined the 'ponies working on earth' genre of fics.
