Putting this into words I feel completely dumb even writing this but here we go…
I’ve been into DSMs for as long as I could drive and we all know these cars are a dying breed, so how do you all get over driving your car? Over the years I’ve had DSMs in varying degrees of quality but it wasn’t until I picked up my 2GB Talon that I just can’t bring myself to leave my garage. I hate it! Break some interior piece thats impossible to replace? Drive in the rain/snow/inclement weather for fear of rust? I’m so scared that I’ll break something or that some asshole teenager will side swipe me. I feel like a new parent with their newborn baby. I hate the fact that I have this beautiful car and that I can’t seem to get over the fact that something bad will happen to it.
I know it’s dumb, it’s an object and it’s meant to be driven gosh darn it! Im seriously to the point where I feel like if I can’t get over this stupidity that I’m going to sell the car. Am I alone? Any tips for dealing with this? Am I justified in thinking this way? If you’re the same way share your story and thought process.
Thanks DSM community!
