12:20 AM In 2018 when i bought the first Elantra i was very disappointed. I was going around talking to any mechanic wanted to talk to me, mostly about the ticking noise at the engine. It took me years to figure it out it was caused by a sticky valve due to oil present in intake (coming from PCV).

At the Tire Pros store nearby (now under a different name and ownership), there was this guy who said he was the owner. Ralph Leopold. Later i found out he was involved with the local races here. Very polite and nice talking, with a nice German accent.

He was kinda offering to buy the Elantra, especially after i told him the exhaust was smelling like ammonia (a long story). Nowadays that shop is under a different name and ownership. Today i found out Michael Schumacher has a brother and when i looked at him, i thought i saw my Ralph (It's been 5 years since i last saw him and i think last time he had a mask).

10:15 At times violent, at times more subtle but it feels like a heavy person from upstairs is going to fall through the ceiling at any time.

For the second day in a row. A woman in her forties, tall, heavy build, spending all her time at home, moving around. But it's not only that. It feels like her moves are synched with my thoughts.

This is nothing new. When things get rough, like i post important things, they always do this. With the current occupant and many others before.

10:25 It went quiet right after i posted the above, for a moment i thought someone went down the stairs, but the car is still there.

10:26 Nevermind, the car is gone.

10:40 PM she got back home in the same time with us and started. It stinks in here. Found one at the N bin. When i got home and went to look for the sign in the back, there was this very short Philippina looking woman with a dog and the dog was barking at me like crazy.
