I will not dispute "great country", but Dubya and friends? I don't know...

I'd say get into either autocross or track racing. Becoming a better driver and dropping seconds off your lap times is far more rewarding than adding a few HP. You won't enjoy it on a daily basis, but your weekend of fun should carry into the week.

mine is a daily driver as well... i can see how it can get "boring" but thats only "IF" you are in traffic all the time. i work hours where i dont hit any traffic, so it doesnt really get boring at all...

drive something else for 20 min, or dont drive your car for a weekend.. the second u get back into your car it just feels amazing....

I hate when I don't drive my car somewhere. Say I go off for the weekend.. hell I ride to a store with a friend. As I leave I am watching my car in sadness because I am not driving it and I look as far as I can down the road on the way back just to see it again asap.


Yeah, I know.. I have an S2000 addiction problem



















...and I don't give a rats a** about curing it !

dang dyhppy, this thread is such a 180 from your other "feelings" thread. You ok? You seem a little bipolar. I keed, I keed! Sorry to see you starting to feel bored about the car. I just hope I never have to go through this.

it does sound bipolar. i wasn't saying that i was exactly bored of the car. was just kicking myself for not appreciating it to the MAX.

Bored? Learn new things. Like how to execute a perfect hand-brake turn at speed. Oh and hey Jelli, no offense but mindless patriotic swill belongs in Vintage.
