What do you guys do when your car is M.I.A.?
What do you guys do when you dont have your car because its in the shop or whatever?
i haven't had my car since Friday and it has been the most depressing 3-4 days cuz i need to find rides to/from school, work, hockey etc..
so i end up posting here all day which isn't too bad of an alternative

Man, when I had my tranny replaced, and xdrilled slotted rotors, inspection and all that crap. I didn't drive my car for almost 3 months. That sucked royally, had to get rides to and from work everyday from roommate or g/f. I feel bad for people like Insyone and Cocoa who haven't driven their car for like a year or more. But at least they have beaters to drive around. All I did for months while I didn't have the car, was be depressed, work, post here, and let the parts and mods continue to pile up.

I come to this site, then I start thinking about my car and how I can't drive it. Then I realise that I should stop doing this because I won't be driving it for another 6 months. Then I start thinking about what I should do to it when I get it back, which leads me back to this site. It's an endless cycle.

i had a rental a subaru forester for about 3 weeks cause my ride was at a shop getting repainted. it was fun messing with a car you don't own cause you don't give a shiet what you do with it?. but most of the time all i would do after work or on my days off is i would always pass by the shop to see how my ride was doing.

I get depressed thinking about my Mistress sitting in some flippin' garage. And for rides, I can barrow an older FORD Ranger 5sp from my in-laws, steal my wife's Accord or ride my GT.

Yeah, but now you got a "rebuilt/salvage" title. That sucks. My Integra had the RED title. Kinda sucks. However, the Mistress, her title is clean and green. Gotta love that.

I'm driving a dodge neon right now. (not SRT4), but it has the cool spoiler and dual chrome exhaust tips.
