don't tell me the car in question was an s-chassis
Real shit, I used to talk to my old Jetta like an old man, we would argue over when to go and how fast, but we're perfect when in sync, I miss that car so much, (was rip'd in Irma flood)
ill raise a pint to your car m8
Thx m8, I lost the lug bolts doing the back brakes the night before, had to leave it. I still think back to when my roommate and I left, I locked the doors with the key fob right before I lost line of sight, the saddest part was seeing the lights flash for the last time
U 2 emofags should be friends

F
this is sad as fuck...
Fugg man this hurts my soul. Is there no way you could have just found some nuts that mostly fit, stripped them on there then worried about replacing the studs later?
It's German, it uses bolts instead of nuts to hold the wheels on.
.....couldn't you have stolen two from each front wheel and limped it to safety?
I feel you man. I lost my C3 to Harvey. She was my dad's before me and I put so much time into her. The garage I left her in flooded, then collapsed on top of her. I remember turning the lock for the last time, telling her it would be ok, then closing the garage door. I couldn't take her with me because I was at the very end of my engine build and hadn't put the heads back on. Fuck, I wish I had stayed up that night to fix her. I could have saved her.
Even better. Couldn't you have just stripped some bolts into place and worried about the damage later?
Jesus fucking Christ I'll pour a quart of 5w30 out for that
>selling your cars
>not parking them behind your house and letting them return to the earth
Yeah, it felt like I lost my dad a second time cause that was the only thing I had left. I remember going back to the shed and seeing it completely collapsed. After clearing most of the wreckage, the cab was totally smashed in because it had T-tops, so it wasn't the most sturdy thing in the world. Being fiberglass, every single panel was cracked or shattered. The heads stuck out from a pile of wood that used to be the bench they were sitting on when I left them. Because the front was up on jackstands, the frame was bent in half so the middle was touching the floor. It was obviously beyond repair otherwise I would have fixed it. I don't think I've ever legitimately cried as hard as I did that day. Just typing about it is making me tear up. Fuck, lads.
A part of me really wants user to see this and another part really doesn't
not that guy but lug bolts are a different breed, its like an acorn lug with an unusually long stem. not a very common bolt at all
What car?
There's no way you could find something with similar threads and force it in just to limp away? Or do like said?
My bad, like said? Fuck phoneposting.
Don't cry cuz it's over, smile cuz it happened.
I came here to laugh at OP but fuck that's sad. Sorry to hear that br/o/
that would have made sense but im sure the user had a lot on his mind
this.
make a keychain or frame the hood emblem. keep the memory
lifes not fair
How do you think I feel? 05 RSX owner here. I could drive this thing for another four years I'm sure, despite the fact that it has a water leak in the trunk, oil leak, needs rear struts, tires are bald, electrical issues that come and go all the time, and it permanently smells like mildew no matter what I do. Not a single quarter panel is actually in place like it should be, and it's got rust where the tail should be.
But the piece of shit just doesn't wanna die. I know if I sell it some punk kid is gonna think it's a tuner and probably wreck it.
I can't do that to the girl. She's been there for a lot of shit in my life.

Can't wait to take her off road for the first time. It's been a long long time coming. Never give up on your vehicles, anons.
I did, we were busy loading up a van with our shit, so it came down to
>Cloths
>TVs
>Important papers

In the end,I could have but it didn't cross my mind at the time, FUCK
Going back to parts yard to buy it back, this thread has revived me
>gay as fuck
Ftfy
Sentimental attachment is only acceptable for first cars
>I made up the gayest sob story and got called out on it: the post
Go get him user. VR6 swap time.
I feel you bro...Im leaving the country in 2 months and I have to sell my car..my first car..already feeling nostalgic about it..
I am however also conscious of the fact that I will buy something much bigger and nicer immediatelly after I move. More like, after the first 3 months, when I get a job and a rent.
I hope it will be treated well.
I had a nightmare about this very thing recently.
>Walked outside to find a pristine version of my car in silver instead of black.
>Got in and it was immaculate, specifically remember the shift knob not being wobbly anymore.
>Begin to panic and want my old car back
>Pull myself out of the dream and appreciate my shitbox a lot more
Oh my god dude
I think it's more like
>Op was in a crisis situation and the minituae of auto repairs didn't quite occur to him: The post
Or maybe he let the flood do an insurance job for him. Who knows?

>Recline seat, realise just how comfy and spacious it is in there
>Sedan, and the biggest thing is driven regularly is a hatchback
>Test out the heat, it works fine. Pretty soon I'm nice and toasty
>Think about my problems; realise I can't live with this shit anymore
>Start to cry again, but it feels like my car is hugging me
>The temp was perfect, the seat was soft, really, a hug is the only way to describe it
>Start working on my shitbox constantly, people think I'm weird when I can't sleep at night and just go out and polish it
>I've been asked why I wash and wax it constantly despite the destroyed paint
>Slowly making it roadworthy, it's almost there, just brake rotors and front shockers
>Brought some cardboard boxes and packing up some things "to put in storage"
>Looking for places to rent
>Save all my dollarydoos from work
Soon, when I'm ready I'm just gonna jump in my shitbox and drive away. I don't ever want to see this car go.
