I just sold a FB, I have no idea what a pair of Quantums are, and I only drink Vodka. 
I am open to other interesting trades though.

All I see is a beetle when I look at them, no matter what options or power levels or creature comforts they advertise. Was starting to feel like an outsider in the car world because of it.
I don't really know how to fish.

they got it covered
I found that there's a Lowes two blocks from Central Park. I thought about buying a nice lawn chair for my lunch break and then returning it when I was done.
I've been watching the Kenny Powers baseball clips on YouTube and I find the sophomoric humor funny.
This past week I have watched more episodes of The Joy of Painting than I have watched all other shows combined. Granted, I barely watched anything, but if I watched more, the balance would be the same.
Also, I was recently kept awake by a want to start a massive project that will culminate in my van being twin charged. I have literally no good reason to do so, and many very good reasons not to, the most significant of which being my total lack of experience with anything related to doing any part of that project.

I'm 48, I've been wrenching on cars and bikes since I was ten but I still have an unquenchable desire to pick up a bracket I just finished welding together. Once I stop feeling my pulse in my finger tips I'll have to go find the bracket. I heard it bounce of the wall to my right but I have no idea where it finally came to rest.

I've never understood the "911 looks just like a Beetle" thing.
The VW has the 1940s separate fender thing going, while the 911 does not. The proportions aren't even that close. And the front hood trunk cover thing is literally the opposite.
In reply to Chadeux:
The greenhouse/glass shape is similar, and they both have a curved roofline and cutline that meet at the rear bumper area. Oddly enough, the two tone Type 1 you hotlinked makes this easier to see.
And now I have Visions of widening the body of a flat-windshield Type 1 so as to eliminate the running boards and external fenders.
It's because of this car:
Wait, those are 3 different cars? they look identical to me! 
I got a Fitbit for my birthday. I'm wondering how much ice cream I can exchange it for.

I got a set of weights for mine but they’re so damn heavy, I haven’t bothered to take them out of my wife’s trunk yet.
A-LU-MI-NUM…geesh, haven’t they heard of the stuff?
Happy Birthday Wall-e!
In reply to Chadeux:
It's not that they look the same (there are some similarities in their styling), it's that the 911 is grown from their efforts with the the 356 which was a beetle in racing guise. The 912 was even closer with its Type 4 engine under the rear cover.
Onviously the constant tweaking and improvements they've made from the original beetle to today means they aren't even remotely similar underneath other than both being rear engined.
Even the 924/944/968 used rear trailing arms that can be adapted to the Super Beetle, so it's all up cycling components to make the better or the best versions of what they are building.
I don't own a single pair of shorts.
I just watched a live video on Facebook with a traffic expert from NYU being interviewed driving around in Manhattan. I missed a bunch of what she was saying as I couldn't help but state at the utter lack of traffic on 10th Ave. It should be pretty much stopped with cars headed towards the tunnel and they were moving at a pretty good pace.
I have a bunch of cool pics I need to get off of my camera and I cannot find my SD card-to-USB dongus (not at work, thought it was at home... not at home) and the camera is some really goofy USB cable fitment that I cannot locate in my giant ball of USB cables.
MicroCenter's closed, and 40 minutes away anyways.
Mind you, I have a laptop that has an SD slot. But it is for SD-SC, and my cards are all SD-HC.
