I looked down at the suffering red beast, with her hideous wing and driver's side door panel sitting in the hatch and thought just that...

We've been through so much together and it hurts me to even think about being alone and blending in with the rest of the oblivious and beaten society. I feel the cold, merciless touch of mediocrity resting upon my heavy shoulders, which causes tears well up on my lower eyelids. Will I be the same without her? Will these wounds heal with time? Hell, if I could see the future we wouldn't need to worry about a thing in the world. Time passes faster than a tank of premium these days and each second chips away at both my fortitude and my wallet. I doubt I will ever achieve any of my dreams, but I at least had the honor of achieving my dream car... if only for a fleeting moment. They say it's better to have love and lost then never to have loved at all, but I was much happier before I knew what happiness was.

Inevitability is force stronger than nature because it eminates from within like a trojan horse breaching the defenses of better sense. I feel willing to push my memories into the deepest ravine or the coldest crevace in a futile attempt to escape them, but I know my own human nature will never allow me overcome... what has become. When I run my calloused and oil-stained fingers over her faded and dirty exterior I can remember the day I first touched her. My eager, innocent hands didn't know any better... It's almost as if they still don't.

It's like a shiny, irresistable dagger held by the blade, but no matter how deep it cuts or how much blood is drawn, my affection refuses to let go. We are two warriors bound by the interest of fierce battle, but at what cost? Surely nothing lasts forever, but hope lasts the longest.


Is there life after RX-7? If so, then I don't want to know it.

WORD!

 

It needs a bit more work for MIT but it should get you in to at least Harvard. Woes me, now i'm having rotary withdrawals!

 

speechless

 

deep man...deep...

 

*wiping tears away* just beautiful.

 

id rather jack up my FD in my hands then someone elses hands

 

nope

 

Actually, I take a look at my car (P5) and think "I deserve better..." That's why I'm trying to buy me an RX-7



Agree completely... I would have preffered never to love!!!!! Hurts too much...

 

Maybe a creative piece like that would have helped me cope when I sold my FD. I felt like I had broken its heart, as well as my own, as I drove that last 5 mile stretch, smoke pouring out the hood. However, I'm back to creative budgeting. If anyone should find themselves in need of a foster parent for their FD, I will be waiting, cash in hand, around this time in '05. Til then, I feel your pain Jon.

 

Ya I know, especially when it sits months on end and your still paying for it cause you "technically" dont own it yet. Since your paying to own it you cant pay to modify it or even fix whats broken. Ugh its a horrible feeling thus why I try to take care of it and do as much as I can with the little I have. Maybe if some of the people that make NECESARY parts for our cars read that , they wouldnt rape us in the *** for parts constantly.

 

Sorry if I missed it, did you wreck it, sell it, or break it? My condolonces either way. BTW, that's a beautiful little piece there, you should look into a career as a writer of some sort.

-s-

 

Touching....I might add: the truth of our attachment. The faceless enemy lurking within our deluded minds. THe suggestion of permanence as I unfold the cover after another run.....the dream of owning a another and another---my own stable of 7's---a collection of each model and year. The ceaseless suffering........

Hell yeah I can relate!!!

 

My condolences to the car!

 

If you decide to sell please take of that wing and then you might feel better, i know i would.

 

Jonski,

So what happened??
You and the FD getting a Divorce??

I can relate. my FD been sitting for almost 2 years now.
Jonski, you been around a long time.
We gonna miss you man. BTW, save your tags..

 

couldn't of said it better myself .

 

I agree, when I look at Jonskis FD, and see that hideous wing, I too think "That FD deserves better".

 

have a beer.

 

more importantly, get a life....or at least a g/f

it's a car....a rapidly aging car with marginal chassis integrity and (in general) poor quality

the only thing rising from the ashes is a another FD at the dump

 

Every night before I go to sleep, I pray for my FD. I also carry a picture of her in my wallet.

We both need serious help.

 

I would say something about the post, but I saw GoRacer's avatar and forgot what I was going to say.

Then perhaps you bought a car you can't afford...

That's the number one reason I haven't bought a Z06 to race. I can afford the car but keeping race rubber on it would eat me up with as much racing as I do. No sense in me buying the Z06 and then not being able to race it often, so I stick with the FD whose tire size makes rubber costs about half of the Z06.

 

damn.... thats deep.

 

I thought the passage was quite amateur and cliche, actually. Oh, and to get attention.
