Why I am so happy right now

I don't see much of my P-car... but this past week I was in town to pull it out of storage and put a couple hundred more miles on it... I can not believe how much I love this car. I keep figuring i'm going to move back out west so while i'm in Boston the car stays out west. Check out the total mileage in 3 years of its life The thing is barely broken in.


and one crappy night shot, but you get the point


I seriously couldn't wipe a smile off of my face for the entire time I was in it. All thoughts of selling because I never use it went right out the door.

Why is your car parked in (what I perceive to be) a trailer park? Um, ew.

Driving a Pcar after a long period is one of the best feelings around! Sometimes after a long day at work I'll pull it out and just take a drive around town. I find myself looking for excuses to drive it: 1. Get gas. 2. Head over to the autoparts for supplies. 3. Wash it-actual just clean it up. Just looking for any excuse to drive it. Never thought a car would make me smile also!

Because I spend the vast majority of my life surrounded by pretentious *** holes like you (but legit and usually enjoying their own hard earned money rather than their parents') and every once in a while its refreshing and good for me to visit some old friends who are proof to me that it doesn't take much financially to be genuinely happy.

I'm puzzled why your car is in _____, and you live in Boston.

Wouldn't you be so happy more often if your car was in Boston where you could, like, actually drive it?

Next time you go back to visit her, do an oil change. I barely drove my 996, 2002 with 8k miles and I had this "mayo" build up around the oil filler. The fix was to drive it to get rid of the moisture. So now I do an oil change very frequently and have started using it as my daily. When starting it up for a bit and go on short drives the moisture would just build up and instead of evaporating.

Plugs, too. Not driving the car like that is bad.

As Dwn and Ben mentioned, mechanically, the worst thing you can do to a car is not drive it.

Also, why pay big bucks for a fancy Porscha and not drive it? Give the money away to charity instead ... don't waste it on depreciation.

Nice car...I agree you should drive it more also.

Why not take it out here? We have plenty of 6speeders in Boston area to cruise with.

You right in town?
