I neglect my car and put off most maintenance until it becomes a major issue
Never driven anything with more than 6 cylinders
Never driven anything with more than 275 HP
I drive like an old man man. Mainly because my car doesn't allow me to because it's slow as fuck and can't corner for shit.

just don't give up on what you want to achieve even when everyone around says what you want to do does not work and
they want to see you fail more than anything else and will strive to make you reject your own desires

>Love it but constantly paranoid about it because no garage.
I went from stress free to stress hell.

My mom is buying me my first car. I've spent the past 8 years driving my parents cars.

Are you me? 2001 maxima

2000 intrigue with some shit done to it. Close enough m8

>I sold my BMW for a lifted truck
>I once bought a PT cruiser to daily because it was 500 dollars and swapping my clutch was taking a long ass time because I had no idea what I was doing.
>I trashed and destroyed a pt cruiser in less than a month

I've never driven a car with manual transmission before.

Every single person I know isn't into cars and they all drive automatic Corollas or crossovers.

>have 2 cars
>one has 54hp,other 55hp
>one is 4 cylinder,other is 3 cylinder
>both have no power steering
>both have no ABS
>both have no AC

I'm as europoor as it gets.

Tfw I've only owned three cars, one 93 Corolla LE, and two 85 MR2 GTs.

I'm noticeably Toyota biased but I do all my own work. Just this summer I did a headgasket in my garage for the first time. Mainly because I had no money to pay someone to do it. Good and fun learning experience although frustrating at times.

jezus fuck

how do you keep yourself from an heroing?

I keep hoping things will get better

They wont user, they never do.

Move to America

I'll give you a ride in my 510hp Mustang out of pity
