feels good to not be car illiterate and not needing to bring it in to a shop

Wasted a couple grand in the past couple of days even though I've been trying to save
feeling like shit

money comes and goes my dude

nope, west coast

>when another driver wants to play on the highway

>going to look at puppies tomorrow

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'm not really healthy

it's simple science

Thanks for the (you)

drugs gambling pussy or all 3?

Today was my third day of driving a manual. About an hour's worth. Experienced all kinds of daily driving conditions, including stop and go traffic. And the best part: NO STALLS.

Guns, lots of guns

I collect but I should be saving for a new vehicle and a house

I'm looking at buying property next year

I need to stop wasting money :)

>tfw you drive the speed limit like a responsible driver
Truly no other feel can compare.

that's not nearly as bad as I thought. When most people say 'I spent thousnads over the weekend' it's implying that thousands are gone and never coming back.

whats new kommando?

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?

Only downside is I do regional driving so I spend up to three days out of the house at a time. But at least I'm not homeless anymore.

nice job son.

Congrats, dude. c:

What breed? Here's my dude last year when I got him.

Having a pet seriously helps.

I found a kitten crying in a dumpster last summer and knew I had to keep the poor thing. It's almost a year that we've had Jerry and he's brought so much happiness and life to my otherwise stressed family. Having my buddy greet me after a long day at work never fails to make me happy.

Here is a sincere (you)
Good on ya mate

Look up "Peter Cain Dog Training", don't listen to any of idiots that tell you to train the dog with treats/food.

Try the Cesar Milan approach.

that gif gave me good feels..

They don't want their names associated with a feels thread

at 30 years old, im thinking of getting a 2000 honda civic and basically ricing it out, thereby doing what i didnt do back in highschool. it makes me feel ambivalent, kind of sad but the idea makes me happy as well.

Get a mut dog. Most loyal and healthy dogs ever.

how did this change for you?

What did you do different?

Since it's a feel thread, I'll try to brief an user'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.

that is a seriously cute pupper user. i hope your treat him well. do the hunnies like him?

haven't a clue.
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.

Appearing out as successful makes you attractive to the opposite sex. It's as simple as that.

Interesting thread

Here's some of my good feels over the past few months

>Life has been good for the past year or so, I have a great job, plenty of money left over and spending time living life and enjoying every minute of it.

>Feels like things can't be this good, something has to go wrong, right guys but I'm trying to stay positive and just keep enjoying this good luck I've been living through for the past year or so and not worry about anything that 'might" happen...

>tfw youre car illiterate as shit and just paid a shop $1100(seriously) for a timing belt and waterpump replacement.

the good feel here is that you arent me.

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.

>be depressed, don't even know it
>read about depression online
>self diagnose depression
>work on restoring a car
>depression gone!!
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.

>have long weekend from work
>gonna change the oil in my truck and wash it tomorrow
She's gonna look purdy

That is a glorious feel man

Top notch man. Glad you're doing well.

I know the feel. Been a Jew all my life but went from 10.000 to 1500 in recent years because of school and buying cars and having to pay insurance. So yeah.

Well at least you're not homeless anymore.

You saved your life and that's what matters. Nice shit.

what car user?

What car my man

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.

>got a new job making low six figures
>going to buy something really fast and fun
It's not all bad anons.

Doing 10miles over speedlimit but still have a
Tailgater who finally passes me... goes flying past... right into the speed trap ahead.
THANKS BRO!

Is that not the best fucking feel in the world? Or this.

>driving back from a day trip on a twisty two lane road

>some idiot (you guessed it, it's a woman) is on her phone texting and passing people at crazy times
>almost gets hit passing twice
>zooms off into the distance
>20 minutes later her car is in the ditch
Good fucking feels. I hope she was hurt and never drives again because she just endangers lives.

>when you get your "Fix it again, Tony" punto out of the shop, fill it up and go hit the downhills so you can squeeze some actual leg shaking excitement and thrill out of the car

It's such a lemon, I'm gonna have to take it back cause I got hit by the sudden punto misfire plague, but god damn those twisty roads and hill are so fun.

Where do you live bro?
Chicag/o/ here and I lack similarly in motivation, though working with somebody else helps a lot. Do you live anywhere near?

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.

Coloradan?

yeah, south metro unfortunately
