Who else uses cars and bikes as a distraction from their shitty miserable lives?
>One friend, rarely talk to family >If I'm not at work I'm thinking about/wrenching on something >Only time I go out other than work is for food or to get parts >Bought a project bike purely to give me something to do
David Cox
you've come to the right place
Asher King
cars + video games here.
Caleb Howard
This depresses me :/
Asher Turner
>not that many close friends >most of them live multiple hours away >none of them are into cars
Fuck, I don't even have my license yet, let alone a car.
Ryder Kelly
I use my car obsession to fill the void left in the absence of any real relationships or close friendships. I have one good friend who doesn't understand why I like cars so much, and my response is usually to play it off as a joke like "haha I must be obsessed or something"
I'm only 20 and I already have two project cars and they're the most important things to me
Andrew Gray
I go out for a drive all the friday and saturday nights to avoid staying home alone and feel depressed.
It's pathetic I know.
Chase Robinson
I guess sort of? I think thats what a lot of people do with their hobbies though.
I mean - i have a ton of friends. 85ish % of them are all car/bike friends.
I think most things outside of cars/bikes are shitty.
Chase Howard
>try to make plans with a friend >friend has to cancel last minute >could call another friend and make new plans >decide not to and drive through the local mountain pass to get my mind off of how lonely I am
This is a regular occurrence
Jordan Myers
Just curious, but I have a hard time enjoying a casual drive when someone is also driving close behind me. How do you deal with that?
Mason Jackson
its not pathetic, night drives/rides are the best.
Dylan Cruz
I'll usually let them pass if I'm going really slow. The mountains out here have plenty of turnouts and I'll just slow into one of them and let them pass. If it's late enough at night there arent a lot of other cars, anyways
Carter Long
bikes, my truck and music make my life bretty good
John Long
>gf dumped me after 5 years >next girl I tried broke me hearty >no genuine friends >bored of the uni
And finally, my car came out of the shop. Still doing the engine's first 500km with the ECU limiting at 4k and we're dyno tuning it afterwards...I'd wager 220fwhp out of my beloved unassuming southamerican shitbox.
I kiss it everynight and with it I think much less frequently of suicide.

Living the dream
Charles Davis
This. I drive my shitbox like a madman. No power means I dont know how to use brakes, all about that momentum.
Bentley Martin
Yeah I guess so, aside from cars and bikes all I've got is crippling loneliness.
Its impossible to find a guy into it to be honest, all my straight mates are bikers and we all work on shit together, they're also all ronery. I guess its just a magnet, can't fix your own problems so fix a machines.
Connor Hill
You a gayboi? >tfw no cute bf to wrench on car with then retire to nextfilx and chill
Daniel Lewis
Yeah, that's pretty much the dream life.
Hardly any gay guys are into cars in the slightest, the furthest it goes is "oh, I drive a red one". Shit, most people don't have a clue what displacement their engine is or anything.
I've given up man, I always meet dudes who I wrench with and inevitably crush on, then one day suddenly >I can't today, I'm out with my gf >out with my gf >gf
Every time man :(
Brandon Richardson
I do op, i just baught a ls integra to toy with when im not working on my 89 crx
Ian Brooks
Cars (more specifically lack of thereof) is the reason of my misery.
Henry Nguyen
>"oh, I drive a red one" Usually for me its "I drive a sports car, what one? A miata" The stereotype is real
Brandon Richardson
Where you from, man?
Gavin White
all I do in my spare time is drive to new areas of my city as well try to improve my driving ability. I havent had any friends since school ended 2 years ago.
Im not unhappy just lonely.

Tyler Long
Yeah, theres always 200mph.
Jace Garcia
My car is stock other than the Accessport. Can't get to 200 even if I wanted.
Nathan Wright
Oh well.
Angel Robinson
>owns a car >Veeky Forums is the right place choose one
Colton Cook
welcome to Veeky Forums
each user of each relevant board uses the boards subject to fill that void.
Veeky Forums has video games /mu/ has shitty music /tv/ has child actors and films Veeky Forums has cars
we're all the same on Veeky Forums hence why we're all here.
Just revival in the fact Veeky Forums isn't all NEET's with no money and we can fill that void with not only cars but retail therapy.
Imagine the poor anons on /pol/ or /b/ who literally have nothing but Veeky Forums.
Alexander Gutierrez
sometimes i wish i crashed and died while driving at high speed, then i can always be remembered for being a madman.
Jordan Diaz
You've got to live as a madman to be remembered as one.

Charles Bailey
Same. I suck at wrenching but even though it took me hours to do some simple shit I thought about work for 0 of those
Henry Young
I've got over $60k in various cars to hide the fact that I hate living.
I hate women because of the number of times I've been hurt; wish I were gay, but I'm 100% straight.
I'm not even ugly or a NEET; I'm a lonely introvert.
We're it not for my cars, I'd have blown my head off.
Andrew Wood
I literally have nothing but Veeky Forums. but even when I had job, gf, friends, was studying, the only thing that made me happy was talking to you faggots here. so I dropped out of all of that stuff. and to be honest, just being NEET and being here all day on autism bux is the happiest ive ever been. I even moved back into my parents house and used my /diy/ skills to renovate my room. I get a twinge of panic whenever i think about the future, that i dont have any 419k, retirement fund, children to put me in a nice nursing home, tfw no qt3.14 grand daughter to sit on grandpas lap. but then I just go wrench or play vidya until it stops.
Zachary Clark
A lot do that, actually
Liam Turner
You'll be surprised a lot of guys who actually have their own families do that to get away from them.
I personally spend my friday and saturday nights drinking myself to slumber, then spend saturday day wrenching. thats how i cope.
Brayden Perez
I used to have close friends now I have a wife and a kid and fun cars. It's different but not that bad.
Austin Thomas
pretty much
I have one friend and he is moving to another state. And even then he can be a bit annoying, I don't think we're super close.
I have no direction in life, the only thing that I actively work towards is the next thing on my project car checklist
Gabriel Brown
I do I fill the hole with cars and motorcycles. Hell the motorcycle was because I was hoping that someone would t bone me and end my life
Joshua Morales
I love my life and I love driving. If you have no friends why not go make some to love driving with? I recommend getting into club racing but there are other ways to enjoy cars and bikes with other people you could do too if that's not your bag. Even iketani and itsuki were lonely drivers together.
Wyatt Morgan
Get a dog dude
Brandon Wright
The faggots that come into work go golfing at 7am to get away from their families. They spend 4 hours fucking around on the course getting shitfaced on light beer and beating on the golf carts.

Benjamin Nelson
I use working on cars to get away pretty much. Hate my wife hate my life no friends in my state Kicked family out for bumming off of me. But I've come to a point where I don't even want to wrench because no matter how my car runs my life won't get any better

so many friends turned to assholes and they all always come back, their loss....
Lucas Rogers
I used to be all of that. But by the grace of god and lady luck I got a gf and was able to sort myself out. Pretty soon I'll be able to get my dream car. Already secured the house and wife, credit is going back to normal and Im controlled with my PTSD and depression. I dont know how i did it but im glad i had you all when i was down. Thats why im still here.
Alexander Howard
user, Im genuinely glad fortune smiled upon you and bestowed you with a grill. Mine was the perfect woman and after 5 years she dumped me unceremoniously for a fucking guy she met at a choir. If I had cancer she wouldve had pity, but since it was severe depression then "I" am the one to blame.
Sincerely hoping you dont get as fucked as I did.
Lucas Nelson

Driving/Wrenching are are the only things that make me smile anymore help
Josiah Peterson
oh wow, at least you guys had a girlfriend or something, this guy even managed to get married despite the ptsd. while i don't even have money for gasoline and no job because in this crappy yuropoor no one will even look at you if you don't have some sort of shitty degree, even mopping floors is kind of tough to get. i'm just wasting my life and having 0 motivation for anything, survived a ridiculous car crash and the only thing that makes me happy is i might die soon in another car crash.
Michael Robinson
I'm a uni student with no money. I own a car but it's hundreds of miles away, and it's just a vaguely practical 1.4l non-VTEC Honda Fit.
There's one person that I get on with, and Ihave no idea what she is to me, but she's hundreds of miles away too.
I don't know what I even live for
Connor Cook
>tv has child actors
Leo Martinez
Kek which part of I-25, senpai?
Aaron Sanchez
Mostly Hamden Avenue down to Interquest Parkway. Nice straight away through some cool scenery.
Cameron Cooper
My life is great, but sometimes at night I'll go throw my car around a parking lot or take it on the highway if I've got something bothering me.
Easton Hill
1. We weren't going to work out long term. She had really bad emotional codependency issues and I couldn't keep up.
2. It seemed like a nice place
It's gonna be okay, I just have to wait another year, then I can wander on. Pic related is first on the list.
Josiah Torres
feel you OP, losing my mind now that I have no money for parts
Daniel Young
I'm in CO too user, I love to hoon about garden of the gods or on the dirt roads out in Peyton / Falcon real late at night. Driving around and working on my babies are the only things that make me feel any sort of happiness anymore.
>Pic related: muh babes.
Joshua Adams
/pol/ makes me depressed so then I go driving. Day of the Rope is starting to seem like less of a meme and more of a want the more I read.
Alexander Campbell
literally the only reason I haven't dropped college entirely and given up on life is because I want to buy a car and have it be completely my own, like the satisfaction I got when I first built my computer. I still do really shitty though because its hard to stay motivated

Ian Murphy
Which is made sadder by Veeky Forums being cancerous and destructive.
There's so much bitter negativity and overarching propaganda that you just feel like you're being beaten down by all of it. The faggots over on places like r/Veeky Forums think this place is all jokes and funny, creepy greentexts but they don't know just how rare that kind of crap is and how so much more is just angry cynicism and naziposting thats lost all illusion of irony.
What makes it worse is all the introverted loners are pushed into places like this because few people seem to understand or even care about them, and when explosions like gamergate happen which are supposed to be reactionary against all the pushing and attacks, it only makes us more isolated and alone.
So we keep coming here again and again even though we hate it because there's just nothing else.
Austin Morgan
Bullshit. Veeky Forums, just like life, is what you make of it. If you can go in lighthearted and seek out more lighthearted stuff, you'll have a great time. If you only focus on the negativity (like you seem to be doing) then you'll only see doom and gloom.
