Exclamation Should I sell my car?

Yea I know I have been a die hard fan, but things are changing in my life, gf wants me to settle, family bitching about me toying around my cars all day and night ... The worst is I really feel like I am getting old.

But the biggest reason is this car keeps on giving me random problems which I am not sure if I can handle it down the road.

I don't know man ... Sucks

Say it ain't so

I'd hate to see you sell it, but it's an understandable situation. Just don't leave yourself without a hobby man. You can always pick another up when the dust settles. You have to stick around to set the noobs straight though.

I've sold off most of my guitars, music equipment, and cycling gear after getting married to make ends meet. It came down to picking a hobby and dropping the rest. I picked the car. Now that things are getting better economically, i'm getting back into cycling, and will eventually get back into guitars. It's all about priorities. Keep the higher ones and drop the lower ones. If I had to re-prioritize and do it again some time in the future, I can't say that I would pick the car again.

If your car is giving you trouble and you're getting tired of it, then sell it.

As for the rest...I guess I could say the same thing about family and gf.

Don't let that old feeling slow you down. That leads to a downward spiral. Just move on from (or around) whatever is getting to you.

Ah but think of it this way who will be there for you to make you happy when the inlaws are over or it's (that time of the month) with the gf? The car man THE CAR!!!! lol. First she'll hug you with her doors, then her seats. That exhaust note makes the heart beat faster... feeling the shifter slide into every gear with that mechanical touch to it ever so slightly... waiting for that temp needle to rise as if she's saying "hold on honey this is just foreplay, wait till I'm hot " then feeling that surge of power and xtc and sensing yourself smiling until it's time to shift up and do it again..

Where was I..... oh yes... "the rx-8. When life throws you lemons, the rx-8 throws em back"

NYCGPS strikes again!



As for this part, I vowed to never settle for anything in life so if you truly are "settling" for something, take a step back and think it through.
If you simply want to take this relationship further then that's a different story.

Either way, stop getting old, keep having fun, and we'll see you at SevenStock!
(I hear Paul is still walking around trying to find you)

Last time I fell for one of your April Fools posts, I believe I also said to get a different GF.

Advice still stands.

I know I won't give my 8/Rotary up unless Mazda goes bankrupt/stop making it. but I do have to make decisions lately on what exactly I want to do in the future. I mean I have income but I can't just do the same thing for the rest of my life. Know what I mean?

As for Sevenstock this year ... you guys having Radiation over there not sure if I want to go anymore ... LOL j/k, as long as they know the date/time. Im gonna get my ticket/hotel.

(I hear Paul is still walking around trying to find you)
hahaha, I know. Im gonna bring a sign this year : "NYCGPS IS HERE"

Remember your car will never hate you for rubbing another cars fenders, for staring at another car, or even test driving it. The GF however might be a little angry with you.
