Unhappy THis is nuts!

It's been over a week since I've driven my car and it's driving me crazy.

My car's stuck on jack stands waiting for (rare) suspension parts before I can get her going again...

Man I didn't think it would bother me that much but with the number of roofless days winding down...

everytime I see a convertable or targa driving around with the top down I get all :cry: ... I really don't think I'll be able to sell this car, I can't even do a week without it... man I'm such a loser...



I even sat in it yesterday and pretended to drive it when it was on still jack stands....

I need help...

I know how you feel man.
My car spends more time getting in the shop then it does in my driveway.
I used to open my garage and look at my car last winter just so I would remember what it looked like.
yes I am a loser...

I also joke around that I get more milage from the tow truck then from me driving it on my own.

Yeah I know.... but it's cheap thrills... Kinda like go cart racing.

I don't think I'd get this much fun out of a Porsche or something like that cuz it's too expensive, I'd be afraid to break something or crash.

Keep in mind though, before I bought my car I was driving my parent's Ford Torus and crappy Subaru which they never balance the tires OR do a front end alignment, EVEN when it obviously needs it.

Can we say vibration hell?? That and the Torus is so crappy that the thing squeeks and rattles I think the things going to fall apart.

It's just so nice to drive a smooth well maintained car...AAAaaaaahhhh... Like butter...
