sounds pretty selfish,
it maybe depression, it maybe the effect of a life in marketing finally catching up with you...
go for a paddle, open a door for someone who's got their hands full, ride a moped through asia, listen to someone on a soapbox in the cities park,
funny thing is, u wanna f*you car, most people if not are all-atleast those with brains-are just gonna think, f*you
family, and the dawn of a new day is all that really matters
I wouldn't say depressed, melancholy describes my outlook. I don't think I suffer from depression as I don't remain feeling like this for long. Selfish - of course. A life spent sitting in front of a computer promoting untruths catching up with me - absolutely.
I'm sure I'll figure it out. I'm planning on cooking a slow cooked goat stew tomorrow for the family, I'm sure that will help. I hope I can find goat meat at the South Melbourne Market.
Trust me, talking crap on a water sport forum can be quite therapeutic.
I'm also going to swap that Corrs CD for that Goyte CD on my car tonight.
your lucky Adolf to still be talking mid life crisis, reality checkpoint, I'm having a 3/4 time crisis, my advice is, throw out the middle class soft music of the corrs n gotye, get the latest hilltop hoods and black keys, [I have] and play them loud not because you wanna impress, just so you can hear them [ I'm 3/4 deaf] heh sonny, I agree with the doctor spend your money on an extended surfing holidays, thats what is important all the other is just crap anyway, that way the f' you can take a bigger picture meaning rather than just the f'you to people at the traffic lights..
If thats no good then get a late model toureg, I'm in for a surf trip, I'll bring the hoods...
Get off the treadmill.
Instead of buying a new car to impress people you don't like it sounds like that $40 000 would be better spent on a Caravan. Wifey would be stoked with a nice neat nearly new 2nd hand one. Most of them have the feeling of a 4 star hotel room. Plush as. If you wanted to inflate your ego you could even strut smugly passed the poor people camping in tents during a rain shower.
You've been talking about moving to the coast and travelling around in a combi sometime in the future.
Is the 40K inheritance money? It would be well spent if it brings you closer to the dream of living on the coast.
Well you could easily be living on the coast with wifey for a weekend by the end of this month. Then you could go again three weeks after.
There's no downside. When leaving the city the caravan has the F-You factor and you'll still be able to drink 5 bottles of wine and log onto seabreeze to start these multi-page threads.
Stop diddle dandling around the edges and jump in.
Why buy a car for $40K to make yourself happier? Wouldn't it be better to save that money and use it to do activities you enjoy. Of course this advice is silly if you enjoy driving expensive cars.
However in Australia whats the point driving expensive cars? The speed limit is 110 km/h at the most. Any new car sold in Australia is capable of driving at that speed. If you exceed 110 km/h you are worse than Hitler and will be caught speeding in a short period of time. Most modern cars have features that were only available in luxury cars only a short period of time ago. I used to drive a humble Mitsubishi Magna and a doctor mate of mine once went for a drive in it. He only drives BMWs. He was really surprised how nice it was to drive and its features. This was from a car I bought for about $5K.
If I had that sort of money to spend I'd pay off debt or use it as an investment so if I don't want to work anymore I can do it sooner than later.
Moby has a point here.
Adolf, ever read "To Have or to Be" by Erich Fromm? If not, try it - it may put things into perspective for you.
Do you have to have a gray pony-tail and be going bald to drive these cars?
What blows my mind is the number of "L" plates you see in the front and rear windows
of $100,000 "tosser mobiles".
Mrs just bought a new Toyota 86 GTS scrapes in just under 40k with a few hundred to spare. AND the kiteboard fits in the back JUST! Couldn't get anything off the showroom floor better then this car for 40 G's guaranteed!
Sex on wheels!
