I just went for a tune up.

I was 100% but now I am 150% (that's the way I see things) lol

Sometimes we need to be reminded to not sweat the small stuff. Health, family and friends are the things that matter. Though we love our cars and bestow tons of love on them, they are just things at the end of the day.

Now pardon me, my car needs to be tucked in for the night.

AGO is full of great people. I love this forum, period!

Ended up about 200 miles from my house. Watched the sunset on the beach and just thought about everything in my life. Sometimes we just need to get away from it all if even for 5-10 minutes.

Ya know, I love jumping in my car and going for somewhat long rides. I've probably never done over a hundred random miles, though. I think a nice trip is in order for me. A whole tank of gas, riding out in the country areas in Florida.

I understand what your getting at...
But don't pigeon-hole yourself.
Your current view of en-"lighten"-ment should (hopefully) evolve.

Having rosy-red eyes does not always equate to:
Stopping to smell the roses.

I've been enlightened all day. I may have to chill out...

I don't know where in Florida you are, but a drive through the keys is good therapy for me. Overseas Highway (US1).

We all need something to relax us to take our minds off things that stress us out. Just so happens mine is detailing my car. You cant let something you love become something that causes you stress.

You'll get through it an if you need someone to talk to just PM me an I'll get you my number.

Man I hope you are feeling better. I normally find detailing very relaxing. Just think about it. It is only you and your car. I put my phone down always. No one bothers you. You are making it into too much of a "job" it should be fun. Even though I run my own detailing business and it is my job; I really enjoy doing it. Try to make it relaxing for yourself.

I have to say this is for sure one of the greatest forums out there. Everyone is so nice and helpful. It is nice to see.

Here's a little update... lol.

Since I posted this whole deal, I've basically pushed my car out of my mind and I haven't been worrying about it. I think I'm slowly getting ready to give it a good detail and be in the right frame of mind while doing it.

Thanks again for all the kind words of advice. I actually find that pretty amazing. Internet forums are usually filled with rotten creeps, and I got not one negative response from anyone here. I greatly appreciate that.

I'm getting excited for the weekend.

keep ya head up man, it will get better. I just did 2 quick clean up for customers and probably did more than i should have but they were just so happy to see their cars so clean over a simple a carwash ( um you guys know how we car wash) i just cant help but feel good and know this is something i was meant to do. In fact i was so happy that they were happy i had to cruise around in my own ride. Today was a good day!
