Your think to yourself while your working on your car..

[Mangudai]

that you shouldn't have bought it in the first place? I fucked up and didn't have it properly inspected and it has problems. If it didn't take me so long to save maybe I wouldn't mind so much but damn I almost feel trapped.

[JeremyR]

i think to myself "why the fuck am i spending all this money on a shitty 20 year old car"

[aziankingz]

same here..

[FRpilot]

buyer's remorse

[deolio]

nope. i love it.

[trsilvias13]

I think what I can buy next.

[SimpleS14]

I should sell this car....

[SR2Zero]

Why the hell didn't I get more beer.

[HyperTek]

all the time lol.. i would be in a better place right now esp financially if i never got my car and got into car modding.. probably would have been finished with school and on my own years ago.. instead i played with cars and got stuck behind a slow economy tryin to get back up.

But buying an old car isnt bad.. upkeep and maintenance shouldn't be bad, esp cars from the 90s are built to be reliable imo. its the itch/temptations that we face that want to invest in modding/building/playing with it that slows some of us down with the necessity of life that WE SHOULD be working on instead of cars.

[StalinDrift123]

I drink some beer and think about good times with the car and fixing her up to make her better to leave better memories!

[lflkajfj12123]

many times on previous cars

now i'm all smiles or damn i'm broke

[palmdale_mob]

I feel that way after I spend a bunch of money on it
I always think of the other things I could of bought with that money
Then I look at my car and I have no regrets

[flip3d]

... I should've kept my Celica.

[azndoc]

I think about how much work I put in for that couple hours of fun on the track.

Its worth it.

But sometimes I just think about how tired I am of working on the car.

i am going through the same situation. it fucking nuts.

[ErocKs13]

..."man i hope this gets me laid" haha

[BustedS13]

"why do i own four cars"

[qwikspool]

its a hobby. its what keeping me sane for the mean time. another reason to keep me busy on a saturday.

[silviaguy240]

"why do i own four cars"

exactly. i have like 16g's wrapped up in 3 cars when i could have like one really nice newer car.

[ErocKs13]

"why do i own four cars"

to finish that, "why do i own four cars but only one of them runs"

[HyperTek]

haha reminds me, how many s13s has crimsonrocket owned now? he keeps buying em!

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

"fuck this piece of shit. straight in the trash when i graduate."

[turbo_duce40]

we all talk sh*t but in the end once its gone we miss it lol

[Otto347]

I like working on my 240 and hardbodys. I cant wait till the 240 is running!

[enkei2k]

all the time. i spent at least 20k already and it's still stock. fucken shit

[YoungGun]

I really enjoy drifting, so it seems like its worth while when working on it.

[lolatclint]

whats on my mind.. "fuck, shit, fuck, fuck fuck, shit, fuck!"

[C. Senor]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Lol. I always think fuck there's always something to do.

[blownmotor]

Damn this money pit! Will it ever end?

[singlecamslam]

this thread makes me sad. All that money wasted into our cars could of definately be used better. Now a curb jumped out at me and again my car is broken and again i have to fix it. I dont know what but i think about it at school while i should be studying and paying attention. And i'm not motivated partly due to my car. i dont want to be underneath a car for the rest of my life, thats a hobby. But there are good time too....

[JDM_inspired]

as nice as it is, it's still a POS...

[ESmorz]

..."man i hope this gets me laid" haha

Never, ever will.

:wackit:

I've completely given up on mine. I hate it so so much and it's almost back on it's feet.

Straight off a cliff once its running again.

[90hatchie]

"i wonder if i can cook bacon on it"

[bigboto_boy]

..."man i hope this gets me laid" haha

this made me LMAO

[NervGS]

"Please don't fall on me."

-glenn

[LifePlazaCircuit]

"fuck my life"

[DataXUnknown]

"I'm gunna have to take this off again later anyways"

"Might as well get it ready for this"

"This shit is so ghetto, it's not like anyone is gunna see this part anyway"

"I wish I had a girl blowing me right now while I work on this"

"This is really gunna suck if this doesn't work"

"ZzzZzzZzzZzz"

Those are some thoughts (except for the last one is an action) while I am working on my car.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

I dont work on my car I pay other people to do that for me then when I get the bill I think to myself "Damn I just got ass raped again"

[CrimsonRockett]

With previous cars, I did.

But, that's what you get when settling for less.

I've never liked to buy S-chassis from here because a lot of people fiddle with them and half ass a LOT of shit.

Not saying everybody does, but I've seen it all too many times.

Both S-chassis I now own were from the original owners.

I did all the molesting and love it.

I think some(or most) get irritated of working on their cars because lack of funds.

Also, I've noticed that with a daily in place, I can do so much more crap to the "fun" car because I don't have to worry about having it ready by so and so day for work.

Anywho, rarely, I think "fuck this car", but that was before the daily.

Now, it's been all smiles.

[DALAZ_68]

"who needs power steering anyways"
"ill fix this shit right later, i just need it to hold for today"
"damn no flat head screwdriver, weres my dime and needle nose pliers"
"this is a wiring cluster fuck"
"i should really wash this..."

[Hywarp161]

"i've owned this car twice as long as it's actually run!"
"if i buy the cheap part i can prob get everything i need, but then it will just break in 3 months"
"One more sheared off bolt and im tying hand grenades to the engine!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
"WOOOOOHOOOO!"-when it runs, haven't made that sound in a while..for the car i mean.

[Gnnr]

"crap this this engine bay is so damn dirty"
"maybe I should light it on fire and be done with it"
"damn its hot, I need water"
"man I'm hungry, but I should finish this now or I'll never get it over with"
"crap, something else I need to fix"

[98koukile]

You always hate to work on them, but love them when they're healthy. My car is slow as balls and I wouldn't trade it for 99% of the new cars out

[Om1kron]

while under car - "please no earthquakes"
while under car - "I really don't want to drop the diff, i'm fine with adding fluid."
while under car - "black widow, fuck fuck fuck *kicking and squealing to get from under car."
"girlfriend: are you done yet?, I fucking hate this bitch she gets everything. Wish I got 800 dollar refinished shoes"
"fuck I don't want to mess with anymore wires."
"what happened to just driving."
"registration is due, sigh. $$$$"
"I don't have a drivers seat."

[Enna]

"Fucking S14 SR20, should've gone KA-T"
"How the fuck am I going to get this out of the driveway?"
"I dont want to pull my dash again..."
"I'm so tired of wiring shit in this fucking car"
"WHY THE FUCK WONT MY GODDAMN POWER WINDOWS ROLL UP?!?!"

But in the end, its all fucking worth it.

[Ninjabread]

Haha, for me, it really depends if it's a repair or new part install.

If shit breaks, then I hate it but installing new parts is ALWAYS fun.

Unless it's raining.

[PRADOgy]

If it was'nt for you being a peice of shit, I would'nt know how to do half the shit i know how to do now.


love/hate

[blueshark123]

Why the hell didn't I get more beer.
hell yea i think the same thing

[DaPCWiz]

I used to get really mad whenever my car broke and fed up with trying to fix it and keep a car running with 175k on the odometer and tons of mods I did as I learned how things worked. On top of that driving to work everyday with it on a 50+ mile commute each way.

Then I got a daily... my only worry when working on the 240 now is...

"Why don't i have enough beer?"

I also miss dd'ing the 240... but it'll be back on the road soon and be ready for some track events :2f2f:

[s13boy89]

damn its comfortable down here maybe ill close my eyes for a bit

[VROOOM]

should have just left it stock.

[DALAZ_68]

if i sell this POS, i feel sorry for the buyer LOL

[DaPCWiz]

damn its comfortable down here maybe ill close my eyes for a bit

haha, i've done that before.

Ever hooked up with a chick under a car? :kiss:

lol good times. now off to go work on my s14 yet again... I remembered to buy beer this time ;)

[!Zar!]

The only thing that comes to mind is.

"Why the fuck am I working on someone else's car when I need to be working on my own?!"

So by the time it comes to work on my car it's like, "Fuck, I just installed these parts on (insert name here)'s car. Now I have to do it again?!"

[mangoes]

"I don't know WTF i'm doing!"

[lolatclint]

yeahh.. its a "hate it and love it" thing.

i work my ass off but in the end its worth it if you do it right :)

and of course drifting :D

[ms!3]

i was fed up with mine. so i sold it before boot camp. now i want another one, lol.

[joeapple8]

"thank goodness I have one less lug nut to remove, damn 5 lug conversions..."

"So how many black widows were found under my car so far?"
