Masturbation.

[MikeW]

The smell of the car....The sound of the too-loud exhaust. The feel of the shifter....its just... Home.

*tear*

Couldnt have said it better myself. I often look out the window and think, god what am i doing with this thing? Why do i continue putting money into it? But then that feeling comes over me...that warmth...

Sometimes, just sitting in it. Quiet. Listening. Gripping the steering wheel. Trying to find a spot on that car i havent seen or looked at 100 times before..

It is my cloud, yet it is my silver lining....



To answer the question...

I dont really know what drives me. Some days its just the fact that if i dont get up someone's gonna ask me why im still in bed, lol.

Money makes the world go round, so thats number 1.

Probably just trying to have it better. I always like to visit that place in my mind where i have "the perfect place" "the perfect job" "the perfect life"
and although some of it wont come true w/o a substantial amount of money(millions) some of it can be accomplished on my own.

Just less than 2 years ago, i was working the graveyard and McD's making $8/hr. My gf, the same. I had my car, we had a pretty nice 2-bdrm apt, we had cable, internet, we were paying bills on time, we went to the movies, we went out...it was awesome.

I even once had a conversation with my mom and i asked her, "..is this it? Cuz this is gravy!"

Paying my bills, putting a roof over my own head, living MY life...it came easy.

I gave it all up on a whim to "be spontaneous and go to places id never been.."

Big mistake. Im now living at home. Car in the shop. no job. Aside from breathing, eating/feeding/bathing myself and wiping my own ass, i am completely dependent on others to "take care of me"

...and i hate it.

Thats my motivation.

:OT: and Nelson...Masturbation(or sex) is my motivation for getting up..knowing i'll probably be doing it sometime later that day

what keeps me going?

the ride:

first i started off with a base stock LX. i used to race everyone on the street, weather the car was faster than mine (most of the time) or slower, didnt matter at all. i lost a bunch of races. than it finally hit my head. I want to go faster. i said that a million times in my head. after joining cb7tuner, i started looking at cb7's a totally different way. i was like no way, we can do that? and then i started seeing people do budget turbo projects using DSM parts. than i got a full exhaust system on (was f***in loud) but i loved it. then tints went on and a intake. i started beating cobalts, civics, tegs, etc 4 bangers with 2.2l or smaller motors. but than one night i raced my buddy with an h22. and was like i need to go faster. and then it hit me. $2k + later, i went turbo. in about 2 more weeks it will be back on the road. now with a lowered suspension, 14b turbo kit, a rebuilt motor, and a 5spd tranny with a stage 3 clutch. and i know the adventure isnt going to end there. i eventually would want to go faster.

in life.

trying to be better than people i know. i see they can do this or that and i try the same, just more harder.
