Despite having a girlfriend and a few buddies in the city that I moved to, I still feel really lonely and down from time to time. My therapist suggested a dog so tomorrow's the day I go to see a litter and reserve one for the 30th. Done a bunch of research, GF is really into the idea and is gonna be helping me train the dog, etc etc
I'm excited but also feeling kind of melancholy. I dunno why.

I know that you're not asking for advice, but...
Do you have any kind of life outside of your buddies/gf? Aside from cars. Cause that's important too.
Try new things. A lot of people are doing ultimate frisbee. Learn a Latin dance with your gf. Join an adult/corporate baseball league. Take up climbing. Any good hiking spots in your area?

Since it's a feel thread, I'll try to brief an anon's story where he lost his crush to a horrific accident which included her modded car that resulted in death, who was a great car fan. He couldn't even get to say to her that he likes her. I read this story a year back over here and it had my eyes water up. I don't think much people will remember the post but that post also got a lot of replies.
Anyone got a screenshot of it or remember the whole story? I don't remember much either.

The call for an interview was out of the blue, shocked me.
I honestly don't know how I got the gf. I'm a real beta faggot if you met me around, and I kinda had a crush on her for a bit, but she was the one who came onto me.
I didn't do anything different. I just kept going when I wanted to stop.

It has been a lot of work, and a lot of money, but i never regretted buying it once, it has brought so much joy in my life and i have learned so much from working on it. it really is my most precious possession and i hope i never lose it. without the car i wouldn't feel better and gotten out of my melancholia. i have made new friends, because of it and the admiration people give me, makes me feel fantastic.

fuck off mate. If you are depressed nothing in this world matters...why the fuck would you spend time restoring a car when you don't even wanna be alive? Not to mention the effort...hard to have energy when your sleep schedule is fucked and you become basically nocturnal. This is the reason no one takes mental health ESPECIALLY muh depression seriously.

My grandpa's '02 Pontiac Bonneville.
Thing was a luxury sedan in its day, generously sized with motorized seats, heated seats, godlike climate control, moonroof, and a neato red interface.
Bought it from my dad when I was 20 for my second car. (First was '94 Grand Cherokee. Thing's still not fucking dead.) As soon as I got it, the area around the fuel door began to rust like a motherfucker, even though I cleaned the car religiously. Then some twat managed to swipe my front bumper AND rear end me in the same day at Walmart. I know because there's red paint on the front and rear bumpers now that clash horrible with the graphite paint.
Finally, I learn that my dad didn't change the oil for 10k miles, and when I changed it, it began to rattle. Took it into a mechanic and he concluded that the engine was fucked, as well as the frame that he discovered is completely rusted through.
Took it to a stealership to make an offer on my new dd, didn't even give me $500.

my truck has been horribly neglected for the past couple months while I've been working 7 days a week on a big job. I finally got home late friday night. yesterday I washed, claybarred, waxed, sealed the exterior and then steamed the carpet, scrubbed the floormats, conditioned the leather, cleaned all of the windows inside and out, cleaned the screens, cleaned the bed and organized all of my tools and straps, polished the exhaust and the chrome wheels. today I just went for a nice long drive to enjoy it in all of it's squeaky clean glory. best thing I've felt in a while. it's coming up on 60k miles and is still in better condition than most vehicles with 20k.

>>17473644
I drive a truck very similar to yours but a different brand. I also sell trucks and take them in on trade for a major brand dealer. Clay bar on the outside is not going to increase the value when you sell it. Hail and dents. That's all that matters. Unless a scratch goes through the paint it doesn't matter how many it has or doesn't have. Swirls, tree branch scratching, purse and backpack fine scratches, ECT. Its all the same to us unless you have a scratch go down to metal it doesn't count for anything. The lack of swirls wont either. Sorry you are wasting your time.
There's a difference between taking care of something and pampering something. Anything less than normal wear and tear including pristine is essentially the same as normal wear and tear. This is a truck not a super car. I fix everything cosmetic on my truck as well. If something gets dirty or scratched I clean or replace it as necessary. But what you are doing is a bridge too far. Your truck isn't going to be showcased at Monterey or Goodwood.
Learn to live a little more. Your truck was expensive when you bought it but it gets less expensive every day and every mile. You do realize that?

'Life can 180 at any moment, make sure you can do a 360" Last words my dad said to me before I left for college for the first time

I have a lot of money right now
I'm not sure if I should save for a house/property or just buy a bunch of cars and store them anywhere I can

what he meant by that is make sure you can turn back round if life does a 180

I drove my mom's car in the high rep today. Its funny to drive Opel Vectra 1.8 wagon like that. Its kind of nice. Everything is shaking when you have 140 km/h and those 115 horses whish they where dead.

Am I the only one who doesn't like having a full tank of gas? If I brake hard I can hear sloshing and it's always a little weird.

>>17464100
I got my first car today , drove it around a bit , it's a bit scary driving alone and parking makes me VERY nervous , but by the gods I feel good to finally be able to drive where I want without relying on calling one friend or another.

You've given me inspiration to fix my E30. It's kind of a shitbox right now but I want to do what you've done.

Seriously a lot of life is just managing and holding off depression. So many times I didn't care about the stupid shit I do because I dont care if I die. Still get those moments where you hope for a quick end. If you can find something that helps. Props to you mate.

Good luck.

Oldest son here. This one hits too close to home, right down to the family bonding after I left. Gotta make the family proud though, I guess...

And now you've discovered the true joy of driving. That feeling of looking down at the gauges and seeing a warm, healthy engine, a full tank of gas, and just thinking "I can go anywhere." It's a damn good feeling no matter what you're driving.

I would never tell this to my family however I've considered moving back home
They pretty much say it isn't a good idea, they have bonded so much they don't want me around but they do call me all the time and want me to visit a lot
However they don't want me moving back...
They've sad somewhere closer maybe a few hours drive accross state lines, but yea they dont really want me around

This thread made me feel good feels. As an unemployed need with no car and no money i'm glad some of us made it. Hodl me ;_;

Everyone can make it
Becoming successful isn't the hard thing
Finding a purpose to live after you have become successful is some hard stuff to deal with which I never prepared for
As far as your situation you haven't really explained much, however, you will most likely make it since you have had the guts to question things and you need that discomfort in life to achieve other things
You might be focusing on your issues right now, however, that isn't something you can't change. Life always takes a different path sometimes, nobody in this thread became successful over night, its all about hard work and never stopping
You stop succeeding when you're dead not when you find another rock in the road. You move the rock and carry on. I'm a bit older than some of you though so the things I have seen in life you wouldn't understand

Oh man, you have no idea how much I needed some motivation today.
Thanks for the boost bro, much appreciated.
