Driving feels thread

>>16164828
I feel a master of my own fate whenever i drive.

Dont know why, its just that whenever i drive i feel full in control of everything around me. Like if i am my own god.

>>16164840
Probably because you're blasting eurobeat

My favorite thing to do on days off is go through these hills nearby and around this manmade lake while blasting Eurobeat. I started doing it way back when I was 18 for the Initial D meme feeling, but over the last four years it's become a habit that never fails to make me empty my mind.

>>16164844
no lol.

I was in a silent drive with my dad (he owns the car) on a new FWD 1.6 shitbox with drum brakes on the rear.

I fucking hate that car and yet whenever i drive even the shittiests of shits i feel better than when i am on my 2 feets.

What car senpai?

Fuck man, Summer is over. Cruising down tree covered roads with all four windows down. Getting closer to the beach, the salt air and the night really fills the cabin. You get there, and it's quiet and still. None of the distractions of the daytime, not work or family or traffic or anything. All there is, is you and your car on this ribbon of asphalt next to the endless sea.

Planning on getting a Z32. If the one I'm looking at stays up it's $2500
If the Z32 gets sold, I'm buying a 260z

But 3hrs after my original post I bought a Golf MK3 Sport for $600. It's absolute trash.

>>16168401
W-why?

>>16168463
Cause I really need a car. For work and for my sanity.
It was the only thing in my price range that was actually "running"

Does start to overheat after about 20min of driving. Need to replace water pump.

Get either a 240 or a 280. Dont stay in the middle.

240 are better looking, 280 are fuel injected. If you have money to spare get a good quality 240 and stick a 280 or a good injector in it, maybe make it a 3.4 inline 6 DOHC turbocharged Devil Z machine

>>16168566
260 I'm looking at is the only one in my price range.
It has a 280 engine in it.

Whenever I wake up in a bad mood, I absolutely thrash my ride all the way to work; everytime I try to better my lines trying to stay within road marking and stay as legal as possible. My 30 min trip turns into a 10-15min trip and I get to work feeling better than anything. Better than any antidepressants.

Does anyone else ever get the irresistible urge go out and push their car really hard, get your adrenaline pumping, then once you've cooled off feel like it's just not enough and you want to drive harder, faster? Is my car just too slow?

>>16168871
the only time I don't feel like I want more afterwards is when I pushed it too far and almost an hero. Then I mostly feel guilt.

>that feeling when your turn signals go out but you drive a BMW so it doesn't matter

same, I almost dieded like 10 times already

How do i know if i am driving my manual like shit/shitting on my car? I got a mazda 3 and i can rev match pretty good but every now and then might fuck up a rev match and give it like 300~ more or less revs than it needs. My up shifting is buttery smooth but that is pretty easy. The only time it is not butter is from 1st to second sometimes coming off the line of a light. That is usually due to me thinking i need to get up to speed fast so i don't get honked at etc.

All of my cars will kill you if you try to push them like that. Most because they have no driver aids, one because it has too much power.

You have no idea how many amazing roads are nearby.

Recently picked up Assetto Corsa and modded in a fuckton of the roads from Initial D. Now I can go all out and not for while still saving fuel.

One thing that sucks about this place is no guardrails. If I go off I'm probably getting wrapped around a tree. Now that I'm getting older I'm not as fun as I used to be.

You're gonna have to learn to accept and deal with problems. I'm not just talking about when stuff goes wrong with cars or your drive, I'm talking about everything.

Literally, I used to have crazy irrational fears and paranoia just like you. Being so little and naive to the world is what it was.
You got to learn to not let problems affect you, and to learn that you're gonna have to figure it out.

The only way to do this is to accept risk, and just go do shit.
Just fucking do it, not worrying about "what might happen" because something happening and you figuring it out (and learning because of it) is way better than never doing anything at all, which you get no experience out of.

I get in my car. Start it up. Nobody is around for miles, just me and the wet road. Snow just barley sticks to the trees. The air is chilly, but the sun peeks out just enough to make it pleasant with the windows down. I drive below the speed limit, taking the time to appreciate the machine underneath me. As the first curve appears, I turn the steering wheel just fast enough to make the wheels slip. A perfect, smooth slide that finds grips at just the right moment and continues on. On this trip, all worries are left behind. It is one of the few times I feel completely in the present moment.

my first car was a 2005 Mazda 6 sport with a M/T. I am young and sat in that car for the test drive when my dad bought it new. he gave it to me and I loved it unconditionally. everyday it got at least a 10 mile drive on back roads and detailed once a week in my uncle's garage. my brother drove it for 2 weeks only to bring it back one day complaining that it wouldn't start and that the oil light was on. I still haven't forgiven him.

This is a good feel. I'm happy for you bro

I'm boutta sleep so I can't post any details, but basically think about the Jag I used to have, and how it stopped me from killing myself because I would pull it apart and put it back together to keep me distracted... and then go out cruising for 6+ hours a night and sleep in it... fuck, I kinda miss it, but I betrayed it by going dagumi and smashing its hub carrier on a curb. My old guy friend has it now and he loves it.

I just sold my second car. My first car doesn't really count because it seized after only six months. I'd owned my second car for thirteen years.

What id' need to spend on it to keep it reliable wasn't practical given it had 250k on the clock. I'm still awfully sad about it.

>>16188539
It's like saying farewell to an old friend.

>>16188545
I sold it for five hundred bucks. I can pretty much guarantee that in ten years I'd pay at least that much to drive it for a day.

It still smelled exactly the same as when I first bought it, too. All the wrenching and the trips, all the job and no job, all the gf and no gf versions of my life had something to do with that car.

How do I stop getting angry at retards?

I want to enjoy driving, but I hate how stupid drivers that are constantly pissing me off by going too slow on both lanes, tailgating me at 140 km/h or just scumbags who think they are on a fucking Mad Max movie.

I just want to drive alone without anyone else bothering me

Change of plans. Instead of blasting eurobeat at 200 kmh I'll stay home, watch some porn and then cry until I sleep because I miss that bitch too much. Because I'm a good momma's boy.

Oddly enough, as suicidal as I may be I've never considered anheroing by car. It'd be shameful for me and offensive towards my car, it'd be failing at something I consider important to me and hurting something I love.

That's why I absolutely adore driving. It's most explicit way in which life asks me "Do you want to live or not?" and the answer is yes at least while I'm behind a wheel and three pedals. Then I remember that bitch and I cry evretim.

Lol the quarter panels were both rusted out. The doors were rusted out. The subframe was rusted out. The rear tow loop thing rusted completely off. The metal the inner fender clipped into was completely rusted out on each side. I don't feel bad about it.

Besides, I swapped the engine and interior Into a 98 civic shell.

It was amazing. There was like a foot of snow outside. At first I went where the car wanted me to go, which was unfortunately between curbstones and shopping cart shelters in the parking lot but eventually I learned to steer the car. It was quite the experience. Reminded me what the magic of cars is

I'm exactly the same. A model citizen behind the wheel during the day, I'm as concerned with pedestrians, signs and stuff as a racecar driver is with braking points, tyre conditions, etc.

Nice digits. Pigfat is any car that's heavier than it should be. Someone will say that I'm wrong and should go wrap my pigfat G35 around a tree, but whatever. They'll also include the good 'ol "Nissan scum" pic.

I dont have much in this world. Why does God feel the need to target me and take what little I do.

I was gonna write my maximum feels story...but the memories are just too much. Instead, I'll drive to the shop and begin to work on fitting the Profec A-spec I got before the Time Attack on Friday. Can't wait to try out the GTi with a couple of psi more at the touch of a button.

That's the key to happiness, anon. It's not comformity or mediocrity if you continue to strive for improvement but are still satisfied with your present.

I, however, can't understand the whole freedom and independence thing. Maybe because I'm still too young and depend on my mother's income, so I can't drive out at whatever hour of the night I want (because she, although cool with it, doesn't sleep until I return and that fucks up her day) and I also depend on someone else's income for fuel.

>>16206583
Anon, if I had to try and explain it, the feel if about becoming who you really want to become. To be 100% In control of yourself and your destiny, to say this is mine, I worked my ass off for it and I have achieved it.

A car is a partner and many of us love them as much as we would a women, but in a different way. We can trust them completely, and if they mess up it's our fault for not maintaining it properly. We know that we can rely on it to aid us in becoming who we want. I'm seriously thinking about packing my bags and running off with my gf in the summer when she goes off to school, and I know that I can trust my car to get us there.

It's the feel of controlling your own fate, anon, the feel of creating your own future. Or maybe I'm just dronk idk

Engine bits I've mostly done myself. Being mid engine some stuff requires either a lift or dropping the engine. Most of what I was referencing in the post was the suspension and chassis shit. I don't have a garage or the larger tools necessary for the stuff I've come up on. I'm just hoping that from here on out its engine stuff that'll come up that'll be able to handle on my own.

I feel the exact opposite. I'm not a shit driver, but I rarely drive enough to be comfortable, that for the few times I do have to drive I'm nervous as all hell and feel like I can crash at any second. Sucks not having my own car. Hopefully that'll change soon.

Every day, when I'm getting home from work, there's this place where after the traffic light, there's a huge roundabout, and to enter the roundabout you've gotta turn right, and suddenly turn left to stay in the roundabout line, and every day, every single day I hit the gas and take that double curve daydreaming of some day, having a RWD car that may slide those curves away.
But instead, I've got a 2016 Indian made 1.2 FWD that is everything but sporty.
