    Default Does anyone else feel this way about their car?

    I look at my car and I pick out all the little flaws, I hate the car, I always want to get rid of it.

    I get in my car and drive, and I love it, it drives amazing.

    It's so frustrating.

    Also I just installed my exhaust and now theres a major loud rattling in the trunk area that I cannot pinpoint.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I like my car, the power, the handling, the comfort, but I have had it for a while now so I am selling it to try something new, must be faster, handle better and be as comfortable

    Every morning when I go to my car , wah wah vrooom! I love my car more then anything. I have built it from the ground up my self. I wouldn't trade it or sell it for any other car . I have owned 6 cr-x's and the only other car I would own is a 91 ns-x parked beside my siR.

    This only happens to me when merging onto Deerfoot, cruising with friends, towing my trailer, or any other time my lack of horsepower becomes more noticeable.

    I still like looking at my truck, but when I hit bumps, accelerate to pass or drive on ice I think hard about getting rid of it. Problem is its cheaper than any replacement vehicle I'd consider, and has been super reliable... its too good to get rid of, its what I need but not what I want :/

    Yup, share the same feeling. When it's running, and driving good, absolutely love it, the second theres a problem, or it doesn't drive quite right, hate the shit out of it.

    Love/hate relationship.

    I've owned a bunch of different cars and maybe age has something to do with it? I'm turning 30 and at the stage where I just don't care anymore what I drive.

    you know what the problem is right?

    you guys need more cars.

    it sucks when something goes wrong with your car, because now its gonna look or sound shitty when you want to go pick up your girl, or it wont drive right when you want to goto the track etc. etc. .. and then the car you love, is all of a sudden the car you hate.

    i found a simple solution. MOAR CARS! lol

    if somethings goes wrong or generally gets on my nerves about 1 car. Just drive the other one. then you can fix the issues with the first car at your liesure.

    that way working on the problem car is fun like it should be. and not some pain in the ass chore because theres no pressure or NEED to get it done by such and such a deadline.

    takes away the stress of being a ricer. lol

    Before I had my company car I used to switch cars like crazy.
    I've been pretty good so far.
