I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think it all depends on the reason why you bought the car. When my last cars transmission went I figured I should get a new car for the reliability and a hybrid as my commute was long. It was nice to have a new car, but as you said: driving is driving. What really made the difference for me was seeing how I only had to fill the tank once a week or week and a half for $20, and now that I'm closer to work it's only once a month.

Just having a new car is cool and all, and there's peace of mind for having reliability, but if there is a more specific reason why you bought this car you might find more enjoyment from reflecting on that aspect. :)
