This. That's the way it should be man and that's what makes us car guys. I know it's a great feeling when random people come up to me on the street and compliment me for having a nice car or tell me they like my car. To me it means that I've accomplished something and that all my hard work has paid off.
As far as appreciating the effort you've put into your car, no problem man! You've done a lot of great things with your car and in my book you not only deserve it, but you have definitely earned it.

I can honestly say that I know how you feel on this one lol. While I was in basic and AIT I wasn't allowed to drive my car at all. It just sat at my grandparents house 2 states away in their garage for 5 months. Needless to say I missed not being able to drive my car a lot during that period of time. I think when I finally got back and was able to drive it again, I drove it almost non-stop for a week lol. So I understand how it feels to not be able to get in, start it up, and just go for a cruise.

I would be much closer to being finished if i didnt buy my daily Alero, ive got around 1250$ in the daily i bought (buying price, plates, insurance, parts to fix, and alignments) if i didnt get that, i would be closer to having the black car ready. But, the black car was my only car, so with it down, i finally had to get a daily. Which im happy with because i dont like the black car in rain or snow, shes a nice day car. The daily can soak up all the water and salt it wants! I dont mind lol

This is actually where I'm at with the Miata lol. I wish I could afford 2 cars right now cause I love this car to death, but I hate that it has to be my DD. One cause it's not really the type of car that is meant to be a DD and two because it's constantly exposed to the elements and carelessness of others.
Now I don't really mind the rain so much, but I do mind the snow and salt like I had to drive in last night. Keep in mind too this car isn't really meant for winter driving conditions so it did slide around a little bit lol. Today I just decided to leave it parked and stay indoors cause I don't want to risk losing it out there with the roads the way they are.
All in all though $1250 was not a bad price to pay to have a 2nd Alero and new DD. I think I've told you that before lol, but still.

My garage is unheated, so if its to cold out, i cant work on the black car. So im hoping soon, the weather will get a little better here once i have the parts lying around for the motor to go back in, and then ill go from there.

Yeah, that sucks man. I'm hoping the weather gets nice soon too so that I can cruise around with the top down.
