I wrote about my S2000 in Road & Track
My professional writing debut in Road & Track. I wanted to do justice my S2000. She’s helped me through some dark times.

I see depression doesn't fight fair. You can't successfully combat it with logic, but it seems to have no issues twisting logic to use against you.
There is this saying on motorcycle forums about never seeing a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrist office. Then in winter, riders suffer from PMS, Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. Its amazing how a man and machine connection can have such a strong effect on our mental health.
If SAD is a depressive state triggered by lack of sunlight, maybe there something we could call SSAD, when we can't drive our S because its not driving season. You've found a treatment that at least helps. Maybe more frequent doses would have beneficial effect.
How many people has your article touched? How many will now have a better understanding of this insidious disease? Will be more understanding of those around them that many likewise be suffering. Will be more aware. Be woke. Be on the lookout for spotting the signs in those they care about.
How many will your article help who are also suffering? Motivate them to get through another day. Help them find their own Suzi. Their talisman of hope that can shine light to chase away the darkness, even if only briefly.
Your words are a tonic, that equally helps those suffering, as well as those trying to empathise with them. They've certainly helped me.
I look forward to what you write next...

Snow tires on an S, driving top down in the snow? You have grace and courage I don't have and in my view more than enough to Soldier On through this thing we call life. Well written, sir...No retreat, No surrender...

I saw this earlier today and was wondering if it was anyone on here, I was going to post up the link too. I've been in some dark places over the years, all i can offer you is that it always gets better eventually. FWIW driving my S is the same for me - no matter how down I'm feeling, a quick blast through the hills always picks me up, I giggle like an idiot when I'm driving it.
A comment from a random dude living in the butt crack of the world probably doesn't mean anything to you, but know that the world is a better place for having you in it.
