Red face 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?

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.

Had a few gay rentals like neons and crapaliers. My favorite rentals were a Gallant when my car was being painted and a dodge ram 1500 that I got stuck in a mudpit in the woods and had to be towed out

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.

dude, I've been w/o my cL for almost 6 weeks. I take the subway to/from school. Its in the shop right now after the accident. It took the insurance company a month to write it off but then I said I want to keep it so eventually I had to buy it back from them at salvage cost. It sucks ass without my cl and i will definately appreciate her much more when I get her back in a week or so.

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.
