Default What happened?

Ten years ago this was all cars, girls, more girls and girls.


Now it is investment portfolios, three grand watches and having babies!!!


What happened to us?


In five years it will be divorce lawyers, middle aged spread and anti-cholesterol treatments!

What happened? We all got older

But, I'm not divorced, I've got a tummy and my cholesterol is a little higher than it should be

I have no comment.

I got told off for being to open about sex, I got told I was too opinionated and that I sit on my high horse!

So now I tend to just take a back seat.

10 years ago I was going through a huge breakup with an ex, and decided fast cars would help me emotionally :-) Found this site, brought a car from the For Sale section, Sti V6 coupe R, and started to log in daily.

Sold the car about 6 months later, but never moved from the site, as I love the general Non Subaru banter / fun. & Non Subaru Cars. Im a member of a few forums, but just love the down to earth, genuine chit chat here. The number of times Ive spat my drink out due to the comments / views here.

Have to admit, over the last few years, site has changed a bit, doesnt seem as busy, and some of the old funny dudes have gone, but still good and I still log in daily.

I found the site, as a young single man, and now Im a married man, 2 kids, family man's car, but mentally still feel the same as when I started. Too old for a subaru now, well the hard suspension would shake my man ***** too much :-)

I find financial matters incredibly boring, my Casio is tied to the Atomic clock so is ever so accurate, and we have done our bit with the babies bit.

Think I will stick to motor bikes and cars, much more fun.
