am I the only one?, paranoia about driving ruins it? Options

[tat2dphreak]

ok, over the past 6 years, I've done damn near everything on my car... the transmission is probably the only part 'untouched' and even it got new seals and every linkage bushing...

but now, when I drive it, I'm nit-picky, and every little thing seems to cause worry...

example... yesterday it got up to the high 80s outside, and my car, in stop-go traffic got up to slightly less than 220 on the way home... and I started worrying of over heat...

every rattle, noise, smell or anything a 40 year old car could have, worries me bonkers to the point the fun in the car is far upset by the paranoia...

does anyone else get like this?

Paul you hit the nail on the head. If the car breaks down, I can always have it flat bedded. But these F'n drivers around here are unreal. People with the right of way seem like they have to yeild to those with traffic control devices. They are always running through stop signs & yeild signs not looking and pulling out super slow. Oblivious of about the consequences of hitting some one or someone hitting them. I had 2 aholes consecutively run a stop sign, cut me off from going up my road because they didn't want to yeild to a parked car on their side of the road. Next jack ass at the top of the hill thought he could race down hill in his pickup and do the same. Wrong answer.. I beat him to the punch and he had to slam on his brakes and into a curb so he wouldn't hit the parked car on his side of the road. I'll take mechanical break downs any day. Just please clear the roadways of these idiots. So Wayne, with that said, enjoy driving your car! Forty year old cars will always need something or other. Took me the better part of 5 years to fully sort out my 1975 that I had. Enjoyed the hell out of it once I did. Was defenitly my favorite 914.
