Default Feeling Blah!!!

I need help here! Just feeling blah. Maybe its the thought of winter coming ..I don't know. I just don't feel much like driving anymore.
Am I sick? Do I need some serious help?

Spend a day carving corners in the mountains or find some back roads to go shoot pictures of the fall scenery and have some fun.

I haven't turned the key on my '01 in more than 4 months... the engine is under the knife.

After driving only a Ford Taurus and Corolla this whole time I can relate to feeling blah.

Think about a nice winter project. You've got a mint condition Zo6, -Life is GOOD!

I go through $25/day in gas in my Z just driving nowhere messing around in it. Its better than watching TV thats for damn sure.
Sure I get bored of it though sometimes, then ill jump on the ol R1 and really tear up the backroads.
1K a month in gas going nowhere...loving life!

Drive it when you can. Mine's up on stands while I'm waiting for more parts to complete a cam swap/SC install. Saddest sight (next to a wrecked Vette) is a Z up on stands.

Send me the car and the keys.

No, really, I think you just need to put something new on your car. A little modding cheers everyone up!

Wow... I'd call AAA and tow his car for that. That is a sin. If I couldn't drive my Z and was stuck with just my daily driver, I'd go bonkers.

You better get in that car man!! If the weather is going to be great in your part of the country for the next few days, clean the ride, and drive. Itll be snowy and damp and dark before you frickin know it!!

At the risk of getting into an OT discussion, you are experiencing a rather common dilemma....The bombardment of bad news along with, shall we say, lowering of the American dream propaganda, has created a gloomy attitude hereabouts. But be of good spirits, America has faced dire situations before and its people and country will rebound......
