    I am about to break up with my GF for good and currently have this boring 4 cyl car that gives me no thrills... I used to own a sports car (not f car) and that made me smile everytime I drove that beast.

    So how many of you guys broken up with wives, GFs or had any other bad thing happened to you, only to jump into your F car and forget all your problems as you hear the engine roar?

    Sorry for a little gay post but I am feeling down and wanting to sell my economy 4 cyl banger for a sporty car... cant afford F cars yet or even Porkas but yeah... im only 29.

    I doubt any car, no matter how magnificent, would soothe the wound of a freshly ended relationship. Give it time, enjoy the company of some good mates, and you'll start to feel a little better.

    Chin up, you've still got your health and your life to live. :)

    Sincerely,
    Andrew.

    Around here, the "Blues" are usually sitting by the side of the road with radar guns, waiting for a red sports car to come by. ;)

    Actually, it was after I broke up with the swimsuit model I'd been dating that I could afford an F car. :p

    was in a "mood' yesterday so bad that the folks in the office were avoiding me. Got home and things got worse as I attempted a "30k belt service" on my new to me used riding lawnmower... :)

    Drove Marsiella in to work today, with some good Killswitch Engage on the radio, and even getting caught in traffic and coming to a complete stop at least 4 times, I still arrived at work in a wonderful mood.

    Daily driving seems to keep that from happening. One of my favorite sayings is "familiarity breeds contempt." The F car is a treat, and I always enjoy driving it, unless I get caught out in the rain... :) 7k miles this past year. :)

    Actually, one day you'll realize breaking up and being free was one of your better moves.

    And absolutely yes -- when I feel down a spin in my beautiful Azzurro California 360 F1 coupe cheers me all-the-way up every time. Then my only regret is not having the good sense to break up that last time….

    Yea, by all means get something you can have some fun in. If nothing else it takes your mind off what's bugging you.

    It certainly helps during a hard week at work -- a lunch run with the top off reminds me what fun is.

    But, realistically, if you're looking for a Ferrari to solve all your life's problems and you're going through a breakup and feeling totally down in the dumps, and you think the only way to part the clouds is with some metal, plastic and leather Italian car, then seriously...

    ... you'll probably need an F40. :)

    No, whatever problems are still there when you get out of the car. But, it's a good method to get you out of a current state of mind.

    Personally, I prefer jumping into it when I'm feeling good. I actually appreciate it more.

    Two of my Fcars ARE blue.....LOL!

    Although one of them has a coat of red over it....

    Short answer is "no", if you join Rossa you'll see them dogging me relentlessly over all my problems with the opposite sex....

    Plenty of them.

    I've actually suggested to my accountant that he find a way to write-off part of the Boxer as "Medical Necessity - Therapy".
    Does that help?

    There are some "Problems" that are good to have, you know. Now, about them thar Flying Pink Monkey Art Car girls.........You're makin' me want to take a drive down South.

    NOM NOM NOM NOM..... :D

    The problem is she lives with me, I looked after her financially for the last 7 months... shes got no place to go and dire situation money wise, but still stands her ground so I cut it off.

    Anyway I might start looking for a new car soon lol Im a young guy, I can drive boring cars when I am much older... you only live once. :)

    Thanks guys
