I’ve got this obsession with my Volkswagen. It has been this ever-evolving contraption that I’ve poured crazy amounts of dollars and labor into. As it stands today, it is an extremely capable Earth exploration machine and I think of it as my escape pod. As soon as it is pulled back into the drive, I’m immediately thinking, “When can it leave again?” Placing it in some incredibly beautiful remote place and establishing a temporary home there is the closest thing to bliss that I can think of.
