Am I the only one who has fun at the track but is constantly worried about the car breaking, then realizes he's slow and is pissed off for the rest of the trip, then gets home and watches the video and gets really, really pissed off, then decides he hates this ------- hobby,then thinks he should sell the car and do something more fun that I won't beat myself up over? I'm so pissed off and embarrassed that I don't really want to show up to the next race. I was a full second slower than the SM lap record last weekend. I'm basically not a man. Maybe I should end my account here since I'm such a pathetic son of bitch bastard dumbass ------. I really have no place telling anyone what to do about anything on this god damned forum considering my performance last weekend. I should have been 7 seconds faster than I was, or at least .5 seconds faster to eclipse the super-old SM record.

With lap times as bad as last weekend, I cannot refute this. I'm probably getting a set of RS3s so I can run in the bottom group with a local track/instructor group to work on fundementals since I have severe problems driving the car. I'm probably done with TXMC for this year, I should not be running TT ---- anyway with the bullshit I pulled last weekend. I'm a ------- pathetic loser virgin ------.

Your being TOO hard on yourself, 99% of the members here (including myself) would not be able to beat you in a race.
You are the 1%.
You are the 1%.

1) Your situation (possible relocate/change in income source) combined with car angst reminds me of when I got out of DSMs about 3 years ago. I blew up a tranny being an idiot at the strip (Holy crap that sounds bad!) 1 week before I had to move to CO for a new job.
I got rid of the chassis, sold of the parts at a huge loss, and moved on. I miss that car a lot lately. But it was good to get away from the frustration.
If I had not been an idiot I would not have:
-Gone to the track in my DD a week before a move.
-Launched a DSM of a 6000RPM stutterbox with like 10psi built up on a stock center diff.
-Forced myself into years of slow vehicles.
I should have: Taken it easy on the car. Enjoyed driving it. And kept it.
If you are getting that pissed, maybe its time to take a break. Especially with all the other BS. Don't go frigging it up while pissed at it and then end up selling it. Do not be me.
2) The fact that I can hold forth about this situation should make you very, very afraid. I have yet to encounter a situation in my life I can't/don't/haven't absolutely FUBARed.

Well, at least you didn't have a girl text you this morning that you have to go buy Plan B and when you go out to your miata you find out someone stompped the ---- out of the soft top and its caved in. And btw all stores in the area are out of Plan B. And a week before, you broke up with your gf. Life is a ------- b---- and I have myself to blame for most of it.
