Default No clue what to do

This forum ruining my mental state. Used to be happy. Put top down, push sport and pse buttons. Drive like hell, and see how much i could make hula shark dance, and smile. A lot. Told wife oh, oh, I need a coupe to go with my cab.

Now I spend my time worrying that my caps dont point to valve stem. My chrono isn’t set to 911. Car has dust on it. I’ve got rock dings on hood. The damn center display shows temp to tenths but instrument console rounds up. The date/time on center display isn’t right and no way to set it. Worry every second cause I don’t burn any oil. Scared my pdk will crap out. Don’t have spacers so wheels don’t sit right.

Used to be carefree. Had happy life. Only worry was someone would try to use the cupholders. Now I’m totally neurotic. Shrink tells me to get a girlfriend. Wife tells me sell the 911. Life is so hard. No clue what to do.

I know you're only joking, but this place is indeed all about problems and complaints.
That's why I visited originally (to fix things), and also one of the reasons I started this thread on Renn - to make something positive.

Get out and drive... and visit Rennlist for help when you need to fix something.

Why on earth would you ever let someone know there are cup holders ?

Unless they watch Doug Demuro or had a 997 they'd never know.

Mine are wedged shut and no way in hell am I fixing them.

If you collapse the adjustable arm on the cup holder before closing it won't bind. At least that works for me

Look up your engine numbers and fret about which IMS you have for an hour or two. It will help channel some of the neurosis!

get bottle of vodka, get girlfriend, get manual transmission, get louder stereo so you can't hear the bore scored cylinders or IMS crunching.
