Indeed. This kind of release feels so good. ...Especially pulling up to a rest stop or a remote location that looks similar to where the picture in your signature was shot.

Aside from that, I usually land up going to a game center and playing Counter Strike for about four or five hours straight.

Killing a **** load of people without really killing anyone feels good. heh!

Seriously though, it relaxes me when I'm on my game. However, if I can't focus and land up playing like ****, then it really doesn't relax me. I guess that's when those long drives on the open highway come in.

actually, my signature pic was taken on a lunch break from work when i really wanted to get away. jumped into the car and went about 10 minutes away and sat and watched the lake.

thanks for all the good input guys. ive came to the conclusion that my car may have a big on why im so upset not tataly but the money involved is. i actually figured it out today that im paying over $600 a month to have my car and keep it nice. way back when (months ago when i had my crx hybrid i was dishing out $110 a month. even 6 months ago when i was rolling my eclipse gsx i was only putting out $320 a month. so im selling my car dont want to but i think it would be the best.

i have my next car narrowed down to three. here thy are
1. another 2G crx which i will convert into another hybrid
2. another 1G dsm awd turbo. cant beat an awd turbo
3. 1G 240sx coupe which i will make into and ultimate drift machine with an sr20det black top

ohh yeah i found a way to relieve my stress. i used to do it all the time and havent been able to do it lately due to my work schedule. street race for money. i know it aint the best thing to do but you gotta get back to your roots.

Dude! Why not a 1st gen Pro? You can do a lot to them, and they kick ***!

Although, yes, a 240 drifter is tempting. I'd would be choosing between a 240 or a 1st gen Protege.

My relief..

When Im stressed, I hit the weights to relieve the tension and get all the bad feelings out of me.
If the weights arent accessible, I too head out to my favorite twisties and burn the road down.
Tension and stress suck.

i'll second this motion.............. a couple of tylenol III's and a long nap help too

After a Tylenol III you have no choice but to take the nap haha

My friend has her wisdom teeth pulled out recently and it seems that all that I'm doing is running up n down the stairs to bring her ice so that she can ice it down, making her tea, soup, etc. Yey, I get to enjoy her company when she's got a headache and is in a really bad mood

I'm off to the gym to relieve some stress hehe
