Am I the only one who gets depressed when I can't drive my FC?

My wheel bearings need to get replaced, and I'm waiting on my parts to come in.(tomorrow) And its only been 3 days since I drove it and its driving me crazy. Does this happen to you or do I have a problem?

Took off my uim and discovered that I need to replace more than I thought so its been sitting for a few days. Gets boring riding carpool, but I'm not complaining about saving gas especially nowadays.

it upsets me when I'm at school in cleveland, and my car is sitting in a garage in pittsburgh. then those jerks at firestone broke a valvestem(and couldn't source a replacement) so 3 3-piece wheels, and one stocker, I also get depressed when I have to drive an incomplete car.

When my GXL got smashed by a Tahoe and my Base was still down I was going nuts.. I was super depressed the whole time and just sadly worked on the Base until the day a friend came over and helped me get the new engine in. [installing the GXL engine into the base: 7 hours from on the hoist with the old one out to in the car and drivable]

So in answer to the question: Yes, I get super depressed when I can't drive my cars. [Didn't help that I'd spent a year working on that GXL to make it drivable..]

Same. Mines been in storage for months and i actually forgot about the car until i moved some **** out of the way with a forklift.

Battery was dead, threw it on the charger, ran the car for 30 minutes, then buried it again behind other projects, and skids of material.

Hmm....
Honestly I'm never smiling unless I'm on backroad in the rx7.
The past seven months without my car anywhere near me was tough.
I seriously had it as my computer and phone wallpaper just so I could still see it.
Now that I've got it and lost my good job, I'm getting ready to start at McDonalds just so I can get it ready for DGRR....


But yeah... Me + Not driving rx7 = chronic depression/masturbation.

When my FC was down for 6 months for a t2 swap and engine bay paint job it was like torture. I love working on the car too but nothing beats being behind the wheel........I might have sat in the driver seat a couple times and pretended to drive it when it was down for the swap....

My car blew back in December when my turbo ate something.. So i been slowly piecing it together tore it down. Just lack the funds right now, I need to concentrate on a job. I rebuilt the turbo into a hybrid as result since it needed to be rebuilt from a damaged compressor wheel.

I wasnt serious about cutting myself btw lol Just kinda sucks with her down. haha

I wasnt serious like this guy

I hate my situation...I have a badass FC and its been 2 months since I drove it besides a photoshoot I had down the street from me.

Nothing wrong with it, I just have no time to drive it. I hate knowing it just sits there
