- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

A tree house would bring me more happiness than any luxury car.
Sreten aka M539restorations rebuilt a Maserati. Engine still blew up 15 minutes later due to a design flaw. Older ones are less horrible, but that's irrelevant.
I've owned cars of various sorts and none has brought me as much joy as the first one. A piece of shit 1992 Audi 80. Why? I had the best memories in it because I was in a healthy relationship and we did road trips in it. Saw a lot of new places, etc. The journey matters, not the car you do it in. In fact, you could just rent a car. Or take a train somewhere.
My 2019 Mercedes was the best car I've owned in nearly every metric, but I never had these amazing trips in it. It holds no special place in my heart.
The tree house, being something you build yourself is infinitely more meaningful. And I say this as a car guy.
Don't discount how much happiness you can squeeze out of a 25 year old Lexus for $1500!
