Step 1: Go outside, get in your car.
Step 2: Drive to the nearest parking lot.
Step 3: Throw some huge dounuts

If this easy step by step plan brings a smile to your face then you can rest asured that you are still young at heart.







Oh yeah, your going to need some new tires too...

What camaro1053 said.. find a faster car then yours and race it. When you've lost a couuple times... you'll be ready. Last car I tried to mess with was a old chevelle that was 4 linked with a blower.. after one stop light, and one 30 mph punch.. I was ready to do something LOL.

i know the answer!! spend an insane amount of money on ur car race it, break it, and build it stonger and faster... eventually ur gonna hate the car and urself for spending an ungodly amount of money on something that u cant drive on the street or enjoy. u might get that timeslip, but it will NEVER be that same car u fell in love with. consider urself blessed for loseing the motivation..

Start by pulling the back seat. It's a good weight saving and you can fabricate it into a bed for yourself to sleep in after she throws you out... WJ

This man speaks the truth. In about a years time, I spent over 11k on my car. That makes me want to throw up. I tried to narrow down a way to end myself after seeing how much I spent on mods plus payments and insurance for one year....
