Exploding people

EP, don't feel too disheartened by all these posts. Not everyone can run with the big dogs. It's not your fault that you are deathly afraid of driving the speed limit or large machines. Cleary, your parents didn't make you feel very safe growing up. I can even understand you creating your fantasy:

"I can only afford this cheap P.O.S. import. I know, I'll make it seem noble. I'll pretend I am society's protector."

Fortunately, you are young enough, that the possibility for recovery exists. See if you can avail yourself of Psych/Social services on your campus.

Look, there is no great shame in lacking affluence. Of course, it is no great honor either. Why not forget the fantasies? Try socializing a little more. Maybe even ask a girl out. Stop playing in the street. Those machines ARE big and scary. And don’t worry about Taz’s daugter kicking your ass. She barely has time for him.
