Here's the video thread of my neighbor who drives the old Toyota Starlet riding with me to check out the new 2023 Toyota Starlet, her reaction when she saw it for the first time says it all...take a look.

I'm frustrated.
My phone and National ID were stolen.
Went to a service center to try and get a replacement SIM but I'm told I must have national ID to get one.
I'm told NIRA will take up to two months to process a replacement.
I have a soft copy of my national ID.

Renting support is a tough job, even if you’re the President. These guys were there to receive their share of the loot; that promised UGX 1.2 BN. They weren’t there to hear speeches from a guy who is so far removed from their reality. For the bulk of them, he’s at least 4X older

Tried hypermiling yesterday. I think it was actually more fun than trying to be a rally driver.
Distance: 100Km
Avg Speed: 59km

That means round trip to Mbarara would cost less than 120K of fuel, or EBB for 15K of fuel. Incredible

If I'm being honest I never had any range anxiety. This is enough fuel to take me another 120Km! If you know your car well, you can track it to the last 100m!
