  • The concept is that people in their day-to-day lives, and particularly when dealing with stressful situations, find themselves emotionally drained and have to “recharge.”

    The exact distinction between introverts and extroverts is that introverts “recharge” by being alone, while extroverts “recharge” by being around other people.

    Or more precisely, introverts not only don’t get their emotional energy from others but can’t get it with others around, while extroverts not only do get their emotional energy from others but can’t get it when they’re alone.

    And what that means is that introverts gain emotional energy by manufacturing and stockpiling it, while extroverts gain emotional energy by draining it from others.

    Or more simply, that extroverts are vampires and introverts are their cattle.




  • Yeah - I’m prepared for that. I had a friend who had a GS back in the day, and it notoriously ran sometimes. Overall it spent more time running than it did broken down, but it was close.

    But the other thing that struck me about it, and still does, is I think it’s one of the most distinctive and attractive auto designs ever. Just something about those curves and that stance appeals to me in a way that no other car ever has.

    And while part of the reason I’d want a stock one is that people notoriously bolted crappy parts to them, most of it is that I’d actually want it mechanically rebuilt pretty much from bumper to bumper. If I could find one that’s had all of that done, and done well, that’d be fine too, but I’d rather have it done exactly the way I want it. And either way, I want the body to be completely stock.
