That car has done far more than I ever intended it to. Gone to building sites with tools, carried friends on long trips and done laps of a local racetrack at speed in the rain. It's been sick, but never broken down.
It belongs to me. It's mine. My own. My own little private space where I can hide from the world. Nobody can take it away. Nobody has a lien on it. Nobody owes finance on it. Nobody can take it without my permission or consent.

Amazing what women do to you. Here i am feeling it on a taiwanese basket weaving forum. She probably thinks its nothing but it made me feel alive. Wanted to kill myself, and have a date planned for it, but after feeling new emotions it really made me rethink things and feel motivated.

>>14039817
You just drive, anon, you drive until something else makes you happier or you cant take more enjoyment on driving
>>14039831
Its going to be hard, but im likely never going to see her again. Ill get over this but for now its made me feel different for days. My passion is driving. Thank you anon, i have no friends to tell this about
>>14039858
dont you worry, faggot, 4chan is here for you, and remember initial D. There are so many girls out there that there is no need to hurry up in finding some pussy. Life is about enjoyiment, not pure procreation, that's what set us apart from animals.

I don't think the oil usage can be measured in miles per gallon. More like feet per litre

I will let you know now, the longer you're a virgin for the less likely you are to lose it.
>>14040105
there is this magical thing called a prostitute. Losing my virginity is just not a priority, something to lose my mind over.

If you have to lose your virginity by using a prostitute, then there's something seriously wrong with you.
Protip: That's how I lost my virginity.

I fucking HATE driving with parents or any family members. Today reminded me of that.

>Get in front of the store and turn to go to the next parking lane, and a guy in a truck gave me a signal to turn, even though he had right of way, so I went and waved as a thank you

>Mfw the whole time
I was so fucking close to just snapping and screaming my fucking lungs out at him. Holy fucking shit.
>>14040204
My dad also lost his virginity to a prostitute. I guess its all about the place and the time where you can think fucking a whore is common or not. I am personally not interested in sex just for the sake of it, but i am not social enough to get more friends or a girlfriend (although i find myself attractive)
>>14040319

>Pull into store parking lot at around 10-15 mph

IMAGINE IF THERE WAS A KID WALKING THERE. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED IN TIME TO AVOID HIM. YOU ARE A DISGRACE."
I just wanted to yell at her so bad.
>>14040261
but then its not a korean turd anymore. Its a Tougay-made race car made to reach 12k RPM while eurobeat blasts from your speakers
>>14040383
p. sure it's still a turd
>>14040400
No car is a turd as long as you enjoy driving it and that goes double when you actually put effort and money into un-turding it.

But good god damn, if that thing didn't practically drive itself.
>>14040319
You know, I was pretty convinced that I would need 4 seats for a DD, at least a 2+2 just in case I need those extras in a pinch.
But you know what? Fuck driving with other people, other people suck. I'm replacing my econobox with a 2 seater.
>>14039243

They may try to have me fix it, but they may just throw it in the gutter an go buy another. But that won't be for bit.
>>14040887
Since it's my parents I'm waiting on them to decide.
But with christmas coming up, I don't think they'll have me fix it. And I'm stuck here without a car until leave Jan 11 when I leave.
>>14039632
I feel you anon
>>14040905
Why not pick up a slow reliable DD like a 90's Celica? Don't look as bad as the new ones, 20+ MPG, come in manual, and have a tendency to last up to and exceeding 300k miles on just regular maintenance.
Assuming you don't go get an All-trac or something like that.
>>14040955
oh, and I only payed 1,200 for the one in the pic
>>14040955
Because no money. Plus the fact I won't really need one after the 11th.
If I had that much I'd just fix my current car.
I just hate being stuck here not being able to go anywhere. My time on /o/ has increased exponentially.

sounds like your parents have wisdom from years of life experience and are stopping you from making a dumb decision
honestly if you have a working car already you're just being an idiot for wanting something that "looks cooler" because you are too busy being jealous of worrying what your friends have than working on your own life.
but then again its your life so spend all your meager savings on a car which is probably the worst investment you can make if you're still in university

Neither of my parents have ever owned a sports car, they treat them with the utmost utilitarianism as a tool from getting from Point A to Point B. They tried to fight me the first time I changed my own oil and break fluid because they thought it was too dangerous and should be handled by professionals.
>honestly if you have a working car already you're just being an idiot for wanting something that "looks cooler"
wheredoyouthinkweare.png
> because you are too busy being jealous of worrying what your friends have
Valid point, not like I didn't admit to that though, just makes me feel worse about it because they brag about it often. I mean, good on them for appreciating what they have, it just inadvertently makes me feel shitty
>than working on your own life.
So what Aristotle, should I spend every spare second of the day working on self improvement? Reading the dictionary and working out? I mean, I spent a shit load of time this fall finding an internship for the winter break related to my major, I'm trying to lock down some experience so I can find a decent job out of college and quit leeching off my parents.
>but then again its your life so spend all your meager savings on a car which is probably the worst investment you can make if you're still in university
Seeing as I didn't buy bitcoins or form a drug habbit, it's at least the third worst investment I can make.

That's right, I forgot I was on Bizzarro /o/, where reducing expenses even by a small amount is the same as not reducing expenses at all. Go back to calling me an ingrate if you like, at least you won't be completely incorrect by doing that.

Feels like living in a movie or a music video or something. Improves the drive immeasurably. Thank you Car Gods, you may fuck me over with red lights when I'm running late, but at least you grant me this.

Dear god. My dad bought a convertible one of those for $1400 and then proceeded to waste 8k on cosmetic shit. Paint, new top, stereo system, shit. He overheated it and then had some chink shop put a new engine in. They fucked up everything down there and didn't replace a single damn thing. Whatever it took to just make it run. Now it's just sitting in our driveway, and the throttle body on my desk without a gasket because my dad refuses to buy the part from the dealer and is a jew.
Sorry I had to vent. I'm sure they're great cars, but they bring back haunted, autistic memories for me.

Man, it felt good to be able to do that again. It's been way too long since I've owned a car. Good times ahead.
And when I got out to stop at CVS (about halfway through the night so far), I said to my truck, "That was a good drive, ..." It almost told me its name! I feel my truck will have a name before long.

No highways; mostly 30-40 MPH roads. Also I stopped for snacks 2 times and the one time was at the CVS I always go to and I was there bullshitting with one of the employees for a while. Then I gave some homeless guy a ride from there. Not all of the time spent out was spent driving. Most of it, though.

Can't say I feel my truck is a any more "real" than my last 2 cars, but there is an undeniable joy I get from knowing how to drive manual and now finally owning one.

Coming from a spoiled anon, your parents are doing the right thing, even if it's a little on the no flex side.
I made a pretty dumb purchase myself and am having fun with it, but there's always that background fear that if I wreck it, I'm up a creek and that really stops me from letting loose and fully enjoying the car. Buy your favorite car when it becomes a disposable cost to you. You'll make it.

I know this feel. I have 2 cousins who have totaled 3 cars between them, with endless speeding tickets, bumping into other cars in the lot, and general retardation, and they have a huge as fuck premium cost thanks to all that.

Your parents are right. I threw away two good cars for a sports car in shitty financial decisions. The sports car had a critical engine failure a month after I bought it. Now all I want is to fix it up and buy an old civic that won't shit the bed on me as soon as I look at it. I wish I were threatened with financial disownment. Living with the guilt of knowing you're retarded sucks. I wake up every morning and kick myself.

It's been nearly 2 months now, and as of last week I can actually eat and not feel too weird afterwards. Still on a very strict diet, but I think we're getting there. But most importantly I can actually function now.
Also I had 50ml of beer today. Shit felt so good.

Then I look at my car and it's like she's speaking to me. It's like she's telling me it's okay, because I have her. For the fifteen minutes of commute to my squadron, I'm lost to the sensation of driving.
I might be alone and depressed every other hour of the day, but getting behind the wheel? It all fades away.
Cars are more than just transportation from point A to B
