I bought winter tires for the first time (I know I know, I should have gotten them before, but I'm a dumb warm-weather transplant to this frozen place). I think now my tires are worth more than the rest of my 400k-km car, ouch.

I'm grateful to be able to afford winter tires, but man it would sure be nice if I didn't have to be 100% reliant on having a car that can make it across Antarctica to campus. Big downside of living on a farm and working in a city. (Upside: baby goats.)
