Why does driving late at night help me feel like I'm something?
(Also, nighttime pics thread)
>>13995713
Cause theres just you, your car and the quiet open streets. Late night coffee drives are the best help for my sanity.

I live in sub-urban area so there really isn't much going on after after 10pm on a weekday. Something about things that normally see a lot of people or have a lot of people using it and having it all for yourself. Whether it's roads, highways, a gym, a diner, etc. I think I picked it up after when I used to work at a Wal-Mart after high school. Third shift which was like 10-6. Besides being a loser job, I love the hours and the pay was better for that shift. The town was quiet as people were sleeping. Cops on the weekdays don't patrol as much unless they are bored. Blinking yellow traffic lights.
Cozy feels, man.

Maybe one day I'll straight pipe my life to get rid of my numbness. I just don't know how. I'll keep driving in the rain and let the sunroof leaks replace my tears.
I love late night driving, but lately I've not done it, I don't know why. I just sort of want to go out and cruise but something keeps holding me back.
I really think I need to sell the last of my video games and just cut myself off to just driving and animu.
>>13995819
Save me baby
I've been yearning for a night drive a lot lately, but i haven't made the time. Major changes are happening in my life at the moment, and i like to drive somewhere quiet and sit and think.
>>13995819
you ok bruh?
Latenight drives are the best. I aimlessly cruise around and enjoy myself every so often. Stop for a cup of coffee or energy drink and just enjoy the feeing.
Nothing quite like a 2 Am drive in the fall with the leaves blowing in the wind as you cruise.

I wish I could cry or something. I haven't felt normal in over a year. Not that I was ok before that, but it's gotten ridiculous. I've tried everything, including making up with family members (was big for me), but I still feel the same doom all the time. The knowledge that the next positive feeling I have will fleet because my brain has given up on pleasure just kills me--or at least it would if I was able to care. I can't help but half ass everything and it's messed up because that always works in my favour.
It's complicated, man. I can't describe shit all via text. I don't have a lot of human left in me, is all. Therapy doesn't work and I'm not about to go on zombie meds. I'm honestly surprised I've made it this far and if I could feel anything it would probably be pride. All there is is a mess of thoughts and a puddle of childish undeveloped feelings lying around. It's pathetic and I almost feel feeble trying to put it into words
>>13995819
fuck son.
you need a good hug.
The feeling of filling up at a Nippon gas station, early in the morning.
>>13995864
I don't know. I spent my life waiting, thought I found it with my ex, but I dove into the deepest depression fathomable and broke her heart. You don't understand... she was Muslim and her mom loved me, a white guy who's obviously fucking her daughter. We even moved out and had her blessing. I was in deep and just chucked her out of my life like a straw wrapper. She probably an herod and left her little sister scarred. I was her little sisters hero, literally would watch monster high with her for hours because the chinese kids at school were racist toward her for...not being chinese. I just up and left them all and I know for a fact that I would verbally piss on them if I ever saw them again.
I feel like I'm looking for something again but I also feel like I'll never find it. The closest I came was with my car. Looking through craigslist ads for a series 3 or x300 was like looking in the toys r us catalog before Christmas and circling what you want. I watched so many youtube videos of people starting their cars or doing a tour, and I would almost get erect watching them.
Now don't get me wrong, I love my car more than anything. But there's for sure a block on the emotions I used to be able to feel. It's not a good life, being disarmed.
I don't mean to whine in this thread but I could use a bit of a vent amongst people who understand the only passion in my life right now
>>13995877
Hugs are nice but there's always going to be an emotional block for me until I figure out how to fix it. I need to be broken down, and bombing my speech last week didn't do anything towards that. I have no idea what it will take for me to snap back, seriously.
>>13995896
I feel like you just need to relax and listen to some nujabes my man... https://soundcloud.com/tetsujin/nujabes-aruarian-dance
>>13995904
I listen to nujabes plenty. Also ta-ku's tribute album, 25 nights for nujabes. You should check it out 2bh
I don't think anything extrinsic will fix me. I've tried everything in that regard. It just gets rejected by whatever is fucking with me inside my head
>>13995896
It's all good bro, venting can be pretty healthy. I'm going through a huge as change myself, after 5 years of being away from my family I come home to see them and the last time I saw my mother and step father we were at each other throats. I ended up rebuilding that relationship between both of them, and then my mother died only about 4 months after I had gotten back to see her. Wasn't even something expected. She was in the hospital the day before Thanksgiving when I was driving to see her and then 2 days later she was dead. Ended up having the hardest choice in my life as she never wanted to be hooked up to machines, I pretty much broke down having to tell them not to put her on DNR after telling them to try one last time. Then I ended up having to make the worst call to my little sister. And then it was just 3 days of awkwardness around my step fathers house and then me driving back to my city for school.
I've just been falling apart trying to think of what to do next. I never imagined I'd be dealing with my mother's death shortly after coming home.
I don't have class today so maybe I'll go out and drive and get some coffee, it's 5am so I'd only get an hour or so before traffic picks up.
>>13995915
>tell them to DNR
is what I meant to write.
>>13995713
Back when I actually owned Ema (MR2), I use to always go for night drives to calm myself and just drive, anywhere. Before I actually got help/drugs that was my drug and there isnt much like it to help.
Check out cars for hope, thats what its all about.
I dont do it much anymore in the 34 just because im sick of checking for cops all the time for getting defected or just pulled over.
Fuck, I didn't want these feels senpai. Hopefully we can all sort out are feelings and start loving happily. I mean what is life if you're not happy, this thread hit me in the feels man.

The view in your picture is my favourite in life. Hooning down the DVP and seeing the whole city when you make that turn onto to westbound Gardiner is my absolute favourite drive, hands down. It's not a particularly twisty or difficult road but goddamn, seeing my city all lit up makes me feel like a million bucks. I share your feels, anon
>>13995935
Please don't turn it into one of these threads.
I'm not going to defend shing but the song is as it is, and most of us would agree that it is amazing.
>>13995936
It certainly doesn't seem that way. I'm trying to remain positive, believe me. I know if I didn't have my jaguar that life would be impossible right now.
I'd listen to the song but I got angry at my laptop for not working and I ended up fucking my audio technicas up.

Hey br/o it can always be worse, my uncle is losing his license from dimensai,
But when you talk cars to him he's perfectly fine. Imagine beings a trucker and driving all the time to losing your kind and being stripped of the only thing you can do.
Can't sleep half the time so I just fill try car up and blast back roads. Sometimes I have music on sometimes I don't. Just depends. It's damn near therapeutic

I love night driving too much to straight pipe my car. Something about flying through tight windy roads without anybody knowing that you've come and gone. Some of my favorite roads have houses on them, it would be rude.
pic related is my road of choice, so cozy
Late night drives are as close to space travel as we get. Alone in the dark, only the noise of your engine and the thoughts rattling around in you breaking the dark silence. Every now and then you see the lights of another lonely soul on a house to nowhere, and then once more you sink in to the darkness. You know there are people out there somewhere, but on the road it is only you, alone with your thoughts and a machine that speaks to you from the comforting growl of its beating heart.

Try working out and medication man. It won't all zombify you. My mom battled chronic depression for about a decade before hopping on some meds. She said it didn't even make her happy or super up. They just leveled her out and made her feel "normal." She stopped waking up feeling like her world was collapsing.
You just have to be disciplined and stay on them. It's been about 15 years since then, and she's not taking meds anymore and is pretty happy. She has some hard swings still when she drinks, but it's far less often.
Know two things: you're not alone, and there is help.
Also it won't last forever.
Think of it as a long ass bad high. Knowing the emptiness and depression isn't necessarily "real." helps me a lot.
Also, straight pipe the fuck out of your car. It'll be glorious.
>>13996702
Unless you run into me then it's on, breh.
>>13995713
I like driving at night. It's just you, your car, and the road.
It's why I love cars so much, for me it's freedom. I can open the taps and let her run free, I can run as far and as hard as I want, I never have to slow down.
As cheesy as Fast and Furious is, Dom was right when he was talking about living his life a quarter mile at a time. For those 10 seconds he's free because nobody could catch him, nobody could stop him.

Night driving has been the only thing relieving my stress lately... I guess I am also really lucky that I get to go to work at 3:30 AM. Once I get to hit the county roads, it's only me. Pic related it mine, sorry it's not a night photo or a very good photo to say the least, I need to take some.

I cant wait to do some night driving in the summer.
I met this one night driver once, a boomer in a done up GT Mustang, we just traded nods and went our seperate ways.
even better, going on a cruise sunday morning at 4 am before people infest the public roads and there being no cops around makes for a fun spirited drive / moto ride.

WAKE ME UP INSIDE
I have atypical depression and extreme anhedonia. The only thing that I get any semblance of pleasure out of is long drives where there's no traffic and I can just think
Life is pretty bland when you get nothing out of it, and so far no medications, councelling or exercise I've done has worked for any length of time. Vigorous exercise helps for about an hour afterward, so I'd have to run 20 times a day to stay "up"
Makes it tough to stay motivated, especially when achieving goals or getting rewarded for hard work doesn't do anything for you.

Dunno how quality it would be, but once I pay my phone bill and get my data reset, I could try and stream a drive for you. Itd only be an hour or so and my data would probably cut out every now and then tho.

Fuck guys, I need another car. A gofast car that I can drive like this at late nights.. I also need my own place so people don't try to question me going out at 2 or 3 AM...I did my normal "long way home" from my girlfriends tonight and I forgot how much it takes my mind off of things.

Yeah that was the reason the guy wanted to get rid of it, saw respray evidence and it wouldn't idle properly. I would love a Chaser but they're 30% more expensive than a Mark II, and personally I like the Mark II's more, they look even tougher. Check your email periodically too ;_;

It feels like you're going somewhere and you feel like you can accomplish things, unlike how you feel when you aren't driving. Also it's a zen thing, especially if you're driving stick. I get that feeling too, anon. A lot.
>>14001653
Yea I agree. The Mark II looks almost as good to me though. I wish I was staying here a bit longer or else I'd love to ship the 32 home and pick this one up.

I'm all for subtle stock-bodied cars but Mark II's look the best wide and low.

Call me weird or w/e you want, but when i cruise at night I dont feel alone anymore. Jaming to my fav songs and just driving. such a good feel.

There's nothing quite as peaceful as driving alone at night. Especially very late, like after midnight.
I like driving in the city centre. Sometimes I do it just for the sake of it. Seeing the empty streets all illuminated is quite beautiful. Sometimes you'll pass a few cars but you can't see inside them. You'll see a few people out partying, but they're oblivious to you. And you're just blissed the fuck out driving, loving the contours of the road and the still of the night.

This song reminds me of stuff from No Clear Mind. I like it.
---
I have so many great memories of late night drives. And a lot of them are accompanied by specific songs. Even now, sometimes when I hear certain songs, I get recall the feeling I had that night. Music's always been like that for me, like with music from video games of my youth.
I have only had one night drive in my truck so far. And that was with a buddy, which was unusual for 2 reasons: I have never done a drive with anyone else before and I didn't think he'd be one to want to. We will probably have more to come.
But as a lonely driver, I get the purest enjoyment form going it solo. The bliss of just driving in the dark with no destination except back home eventually is a fantastic feeling. I pity those who don't share this same enjoyment.
I'll have to get some night pics of my truck at some point. I never took night pics of my last car. A bit disappointed in that.
>>13999911
Pretty much me every weekend.
>>13999953
God I wish I could meet somebody that chill, sounds fun.
Drove all night and just got home. It's almost 5 in the morning.
Almost spun out a few times. It was fun as hell, but I tried to make it as relaxing of a drive as possible. I had my last exam today and I've been holding off on a nice cruise.
I'm reporting 25 miles per gallon today, mostly city. Im constantly amazed at how efficient this car is for its weight and engine.
I listened to some vaporwave mixes and some Hall & Oates... it was a good night.

I swear my car has a personality when I look at it. Doesn't show up on camera though. Do I sound insane yet?
>>14002884
FB. Well technically it's an SA, so slightly different from an fb.
Behold my shitty attempt at a good phone pic.
Wasn't expecting any more responses. I slept through my exam but my teacher let me do it later in the day. Thank fuck!
>>13996484
That sounds horrible. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't drive...
>>13998300
Do the dishes at her house and bring small gifts from time to time no matter how much they say no. If you are offered food, eat as much as you can and make sure she knows that you thought it was delicious (especially easy if it's afghan food...its like Greek mixed with indian)
Tell me about your girl, anon, and your car
>>14000067
Really? Could you tell me what I'm feeling? I'm not even 100% sure what's going on. It would help anon
>>14002596
I like your picture, anon, damn. Where is that?
>>14002892
I'd have never guessed either. I know very little of Renault at all, and I wouldn't recognize Warsaw if I were walking in it. But from what I'm seeing, I like both of them.
>>14002893
Not at all. People name their cars (my truck hasn't told me its name yet, so it is not yet named), so clearly cars have personalities. I wish more people loved their cars enough to get to know it. Too many people either get rid of cars waaay too soon or just don't give a fuck about what they have.
>>14002911
The only differences would be regional differences, right? Otherwise, still a 1st gen RX-7. There's one at my sister's place that my brother-in-law might end up owning. Of course, it's got no engine (and maybe no trans) but it's neat to see anyway. Never seen one before.
>it's about 1am, and you can't sleep. Maybe it's stress from work, wife or family. Maybe you're just in a shit spot in your life.
>whatever the case is, you know you just need to go out there...like you used to do in better times.
>so you get in your car. And you go.
>you don't really know where you're going. And you really don't fucking care.
>few others are out now. It's just you and the road. Could be a highway. Could be the back roads in your town. Could be the always busy city, that's quiet now. Just for you, it seems.
>your stress is going away now. Taken by the music and the blissful noise only an engine can produce.
>you drive more. An hour, maybe two. You aren't really watching the clock.
>you finally decide to head home. You feel much better. You go back to sleep and rest well knowing that for that all too brief period of time....you were the fucking man.

I love the way this is written. Almost poetic. I've noticed lately I like poetry.
Write more shit like this, anon.
>tfw no poetry skills
>my only few poems from my adolescent years are probably cringe to me now
>>14002978
Haha, I haven't learned her name yet either. I don't feel a need for one. It's like a sexy relationship with some chick who doesn't speak English, and you literally communicate by touching each other and having sex
I seriously get some sort of sexually thrill from my car mostly, but also Jaguars in general. Don't send for help because I like it.
>>14002993
Nothing can ruin it, short of spinning out and becoming part of a streetlight. I wonder how many people I've passed who were just doing the same... when I'm behind the wheel, I feel like that number is zero. I'm the only one. But I would love to look out for other people doing the same. There needs to be some sort of signal, or a hands free text to speech forum for lonely late night drivers. We could meet up or just cross paths knowing that we made each others day.
>>14003008
Hahaha I like the way you put it. But the issue here is that your car is English, so she clearly should be speaking English.
Sexual thrill? A bit weird for me, m8. No dick in the tailpipe, okay?
Also, how do you feel about gender of cars? Both of my previous have been males, and my truck is feeling male as well.
>There needs to be some sort of signal, or a hands free text to speech forum for lonely late night drivers. We could meet up or just cross paths knowing that we made each others day.
What a concept. I quite like it. I'd love to meet or just see another lonely night driver.

One night I drove around Pittsburgh for around 3 or 4 hours. Amazing time
>>14003020
Yeah, I figured that would be a problem... she's a proper British lass
Maybe she's just quiet. She has 4 mufflers, you know.
Little hyperbole on the sexual thing, but I care more about my car than getting laid. I think cars can be either gender. My friends acura cl type s is definitely male, as are all mercedes I've seen, lol now I sound like I've gone off the deep end
I so badly want a system like that, but it would have such a small market and could be used to stalk people so it's best to remain largely anonymous and build trust. But damn what I wouldn't give to see you fuckers blip on my GPS, or to pass by someone with a specific coloured dash light. Hell, we could play tag together. Fuck.
This is the kind of thing that would only work in Japan.
>>14003112
>>14003120
Gorgeous. I really do love the way these cars look. I saw one a few months ago. Did ogle.
On a related note, I've really enjoyed reading this thread lately. A lot of relateable stuff. Stay cool, br/o/s.
>>14003124
Thanks! Just kills me I have to get rid of her because the auto is just so boring to me now as well as other small issues. And agreed, wish this thread popped up more often
>>14003124
>tells us to stay cool
>is literally the coolest person on the board
Cool
>>14003112
Loving it. God damn. I seriously wanted one of these but they cost a lot to tune and aren't a very good clean slate for that , I've heard. Fucking sexy though.
>>14003123
I thought you were speaking dramatically earlier, for effect. You really have 4 mufflers? Your girl must be a mute. That's it.
A man who loves his car more than anything else. I cannot complain aboit this.
Nah you sound like a guy who likes cars. Most people don't give a shit, so it's nice to see those who do.
I wonder if CB radio could be used. I know almost nothing about it, but I do know that guys who go wheeling will all use the same frequency to communicate. I wonder if picking a freq for all lonely drivers would work. That way if you drive past kin, you could hear their radio briefly and know they're one of you. Of course, you'd have to have the radio open all the time to broadcast, and I am not sure if CB can send and receive at the same time. If so, awesome. If not...get 2? One to send, one to receive. I dunno.
For now, look at their rear window for a WAT sticker as they drive past you lol
>>14003139
As someone who only learned manual this year (my "new" truck is my fist manual, also), I don't hate auto. Such fantastic memories from my last (auto) car. But yeah, manual is much more fun. Well when you get rid of it, I am sure you will love your next outdated nipshit car just as much.
>>14003141
Haha you guys are too much. Much lvoe to this board. Best board, IMO. Many cool dudes.
>>14003164
>must be a mute
God damn it you're right. Why didn't I make that connection before? Maybe when I straight pipe one pair, she'll whisper me her name. It'll be like our own little faggot Anime. I hope she doesn't miss her sisters wedding because of cancer or some shit though. I want this to be like Gurren Lagann.
>I'll pay for this car 10 times over
...
>THAT'S HOW A DEALERSHIP WORKS!
I agree, most people don't give a single shit and just run their cars into the ground. Gotta be tasteful and bond with em. I come from a family of auto enthusiasts, namely AMC. The car bug bit me so hard when I saw a jaguar x300 like mine. I didn't like cars before, but now I can appreciate every car
Good job learning manual by the way. Ill get a Manuel car soon enough. I've only practiced on a diesel jetta and fuck was it fun. But first I must get a series iii jaguar for delivering pizzas
>>14003164
Fuck I didn't even reply properly
I love the idea of cb radios but I don't know how they work either. We could warn each other about speed traps and shit, and then talk about random bullshit. Maybe go for late night breakfast and get some pictures of the squad.
No matter what car it is, you can tell when someone loves and cares for it. That's what would make such a picture so awesome.
>>14003206
That'll be the tear jerker moment. Some sweet piano piece will play and it'll zoom real close and she will tell you. What a moment that will be. Would watch.
>tfw I still haven't watched Gurren Lagann so I don't know what you mean
>but now I can appreciate every car
Good man. Too many people like a certain group of vehicles and think everything else is shit. While there are cars I dislike, and I am not immune to this behaviour, overall I like automobiles. They're wonderful.
I had practiced twice? like 7 years before any serious practicing. So basically none. As an American, most people I know make it seem like it's some impossibility. I was pleasantly surprised.
>just looked up serious iii jag
Fuuuck. So pretty. I forgot how nice Jaguars are.
>>14003222
If it would work, definitely. You'd be driving past and hear some music from the CB and know it's some fellow night driver passing you. Then you could each turn around if you wanted, and meet up. Or just acknowledge it happened and let it pass. Either way, it'd be great.
>>14003234
VINbro, far be it from me to tell you what to do
But get your ass to watching Gurren Lagann right now. You'll understand 4chan better, too. Row, row, fight the powah.
I need to sleep now... apparently it's 7 am. I wish I was still in my car. She was a comfy sleep when I was a homeless man.
Gnight Vinny-sempai. I'm gonna brainstorm some cb shit, maybe we can get it standardized. I bet they're cheap too.
used to drive through this tunnel after finishing my night shift at like 4am when I lived in glasgow. loved driving through the city. was completely empty on weekdays

The first picture I take at "Warszawa Powisle", its pub or something. Rest of them is from Warsaw Old Town discrict.
City is alright I guess, maybe too expensive, but I hate ppl there. They are the most westernized ppl in Poland.
I go on drives when ever I need to release stress or what ever. The night time drives are best.
>>14003001
I dunno if I can pull a repeat. I just remembered a good time and the words came, is all.

The fact that it may be your last drive is all part of it. I suppose I'll attempt to write about that one next.

Awesome SVX.
The payroll lady at work has a crispy clean red one she drives in sometimes. Her husband is a truck driver and apparently they have a lot of pretty neat cars. I don't think she knows what she has, she says it's fast and fun but her husband doesn't like her driving it to work (only doing so because other car is broken) due to the dust where I work.
I told her that it was awesome and to take good care of it because that things a god damn unicorn.
Everyone in my department heard and started looking for it in the lot and had no idea what to even look for and didn't seem so impressed after they saw.
I kind of want an SVX now but I know they're automatic only which is not a huge deal but ugh.. And hard to find...
>>14003270
I'm in the process of watching a show that was recommended to me by a coworker, but once I finish that, Gurren Lagann will be next. It's been in my queue/backlog longer than most others and it's about time I watch it.
My first car (1987 Olds Dlta 88) had a comfy back seat. When I was unable to get into my sister's house (where I was living at the time) due to no key, I would sleep there. A blanket and pillow I had on hand and I was good to go.
Yeah see what you can figure out. The issue I'm seeing is that it seems difficult to find whether CB is full duplex or not. Full duplex is when you can send and receive at the same time, like a phone.
>>14003346
This "Warszawa Powisle" reminds me of a place not to far from me called the Chatterbox. It's a food place that hosts a free classic car show every Saturday during warm seasons.
>pic related
I'm not fond of cities myself. Too crowded and people are so rude and rushed - even moreso than they usually are.
>I hate ppl there

D-do you hate me because I'm American then? ;_;

That's how real poetry is. Never force art just to do art. The best art is genuine and personal. If you get inspired by a drive again, or by anything really, then see if it comes out as art.

Indeed. I very much welcome them finally being allowed in. Unfortunately, there's not a big car scene around here. Or at least not one that has new-vintage Japanese cars. The only time I ever see /o/ type meetings is right near work every Wednesday nights during warm seasons. But that's mostly Miatas and Mustangs (just like /o/...) as well as a decent amount of pickups. I see some BMWs, though mostly newer ones. Only a small handful of S13s and MR2s, among other things. Unfortunately, I work overnights, so I don't really get a chance to see. But even if I went a little earlier, when I drive by, I get a strong sense that 'outsiders' are not welcome. It makes me not want to walk around.
>>14006212
Too fucking jealous. I hope I can be so lucky.
>>14006229
That sounds fantastic. Lovin' it. And when he repeatedly revs up and down at the higher RPMs, it sounds like it's trying to talk.
>>14006212
Yeah they can get really loud. I barely passed the 103dB limit with a cat and a silencer wrapped with a few layers of fiberglass. Now I run a test pipe without the silencer.
https://youtu.be/lbuDOe1iUSU
My buddy has the same exhaust I do and he's getting ready to go single turbo so I can only imagine how ear piercing it will be once it's finished.
>>14006262
>But even if I went a little earlier, when I drive by, I get a strong sense that 'outsiders' are not welcome. It makes me not want to walk around.
That's unfortunate. You should drop by one day anyway just to see how they react, they may just be on guard for stupid people who ruin meets by getting the cops called.
>>14006346
>103db
Kek..my EK4 failed the test with 97.7db here..(it reached that level when letting go of the gaspedal at 5700rpm and there was backpressure in the exhaust, causing it to pop and gurgle..nice methods of measuring) ..fuck switzerland
>>13995764
Thats one ugly car desu senpai
>>14006346
That sounds heavenly. So growly and guttural.
I suppose I could stop by one time. I don't come off as antagonistic or hostile, so at least they shouldn't think I'm there to fuck with their cars. If anyone asks, I just like their cars. Compliments are easy tickets in. And if I show knowledge of what they own, that's a bonus. Who knows, maybe I'll a WAT or some other recognizable sticker lol
>>14000020
I really appreciate the thought, but you don't have to stream anything for me. If you like you could just record it and send it later, save yourself the data.

I saw a lime green and black one in a parking lot a while back and the guy who got into it was this aging 1980s looking businessman in a suit with flowing blonde Fabio hair. Everything about it was just too perfect and I bet he's had it since new.
Somehow just knowing that guy existed made me happy.
>>14006492
It sounds surreal. Like it's only something you'd see in a movie. And not an actual 80s movie, but a new movie that takes every cue from 80s films it could. And of course, he'd listen to synthwave/outrun/dreamwave/etc...
