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.

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......
