|PRESA| Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 My skyline is depressing me.. I'm getting so sick of it sometimes I wish I could bring myself to get rid of it.. I just spent a bit on fixing some damage and fitting a drift wing, the stupid drift wing doesn't fit on the car properly but im happy to have the damage fixed.. The panel beater turned off my turbo timer while it was at his shop and now I can't get it working again, it turns on but it won't get into count down mode. The stupid thing is letting go of some off rabbit sqeeling sound when on boost and I can't figure out what's wrong with it. I can't but feel like I want to bang my head against a wall and get rid of this dam car that I can't help but spend my hard earned dollars on... Thanks for listening, just had to get that off my chest. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73522-getting-so-sick-of-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRO_32 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Man i feel what your saying sometimes they can be real pains in the arse. Times when it seems nothing goes your way. It's almost as if the car is trying to make your life difficult. Whatever mod your doing. It's never an easy job there's always some drama to cause a headache...

Silver-Arrowz Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I felt the same way about my old WRX. So I got rid of it. I felt the same way about my GTR too. It was reliable but I just felt there was more to cars than just that... Now I have my MR2. Yeah I like it now, but I'll get bored of it sooner or later. Then I'll get rid of that. I'm such a car s|ut... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73522-getting-so-sick-of-it/#findComment-1350511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I do and you really appreciate your car then.

Thats what I do and you really appreciate your car then. Your right, i start thinking im over my car sometimes but all i have to do is spend a little time away from her (holidays or when shes getting rapaired or when i borrow someonelses car) and the moment i get back in the drivers seat all my love is restored! but the love soon fades as i start taking her for granted again.

Phantom32 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 hey dude i feel your pain, and i'm sure 80% of the ppl on these forums do too... we go thru ups and downs, cars are just like girlfriends.... up and down, this 'n' that - they cost us heaps and give us headaches, but when they do work, and work well, f*ck, they put a smile on our faces don't they? cheer up, it ain't all bad Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73522-getting-so-sick-of-it/#findComment-1351656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
|PRESA| Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yeah nah I'm feeling alright.. I think it was just a stage I went through that day. But I'm on a up with her now, shes been alright to me over the weekend. Thinking of giving her a new coat, don't suppose anyone knows anyone who can paint a car for around $2000?

benm Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Keep the $2k in your pocket and take it to a trackday. They are 10x more fun on the track than they are on a public road. That's when the -real- mod addiction starts because you realise their is about another $10k to spend when you thought you were finished Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73522-getting-so-sick-of-it/#findComment-1352438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom32 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 my mates uncle up in coburg (newlands road) has got a small panel shop - Ekinci Panels. $2500 and he'll have your car looking better than showroom. Its a bit up there in the price but he does a hell of a good job. My missus had her car done there and it came out brand new. Let me know if you still want it done.
