Nothing. You're off the grid. The absolute freedom and ability to do anything you've ever dreamed of is so infinite and full of potential for regret that you will ultimately end up falling into a daily routine of nothing because of your overwhelming choice.

yup. wake, tv/xbox, eat, tv/xbox, eat, sleep, repeat.

got something lined up mate? i know a joint where you can get manual work if you need anything to tide you over.

Yeah I'll have something soon. Just been trying for jobs I want rather than jobs I can get!

Got a screwed shoulder, so will be sticking to desk jockey shit. I actually miss manual labour. Cheers!

The time off isn't all bad. Gives you a whole different perspective on life/work and some realisation about the self. Certainly see how much people depend on their jobs to define their lives!

Cool! Still, dat mid mount engine...seems like pain in the ass to work on.

Other than that, you got an awesome all rounder and better looking than the Carrera IMO. Older models still look good and the S isn't too bad on price.

cayman better than carrera? trippin son!

This! Certainly don't like it when people change themselves to suit the job, as in their personal likes/hobbies etc.... despite them not liking it. It's all a facade imo!

I'll get the oven ready, how do you like your tea? Special milk? ;-)

lol yup...you don't realise how much most people just whinge about their job, including your former self, until you don't have it anymore. Give up their youth and sanity for some of the worst jobs, but depend on it for their identity. And then dead before they know it!

Best job I ever worked was 4 days a week. Not just a shorter working week, but a longer weekend. That was proper living!

thats fine provided the $$$ are there to sustain the standard of living you desire, I'm yet to find anyone who walks the ultimate balance of lifestyle and income ideally 80-100k 5 days a week 9-5pm would be the absolute ideal situation however not sure how likely that is for most people.

Farking wish my part timer was a 9-5, I'd be rolling in it with less stress than a supermarket shelf stacker.

You're right though, unless you're lucky it's difficult to have a baller lifestyle without the high hours job to go with it. Sometimes it just ain't worth it though...my mate must be on close to 120 now and he's the most depressed, stressed out, time lacking person with no social life. He's setting himself up well for the future, but fark, if you're 40 before you start having any fun or time to yourself, I don't want any part of it! Think he's close to quitting!

Everyone always wants moar money

How many hours you do a week Alex?

I'm pretty much a relaxing 8:30-5p.m

If it gets busy I might stay back to 6 at the latest

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
