just a question

hi

What could you do to get a younger friend closer to your age without having to travel 150+ km to and back from the nearest city weekly fortnightly, for example to adelaide from yorke pensinsula. A lot seem to plan to move there or live there and not everyone is in a position to travel once a week

Some also have a car that needs heaps of things fixed and can only afford them bit by bit and have to put up with not being able to go weekly until all fixed though occasional trip may not be a problem. Updating is not a option neither is shifting

also not everyones in a position to change cars every so long.

why do alot people start thinking of another car when repairs get to $500-$1000 each time while they can still get $1000, $2000, $3000 for the old car instead of waiting for the old one to die completely or until theyre told they need to spend $2000-$3000 on things, what makes people think about it

is it lots minor things that makes them think about it or is it because they have family that live some distance and they want to make definite plans and have little problems or like most people dont have the patience to deal with the minor things anymore, or they become too annoying. spose you can understand why they do it

is it also because some people have to travel or want to go places and not have the thoughts of being stuck somewhere, do they also feel that anything you can put towards your next car makes a difference so they sell the old one while they can still get some money to go towards it.

also not everyone is in a position to get another car, some dont want to get rid of them, some cant afford one, some like older cars, some have already put so much money into them (enough they nearly could get another one) theyll never get their money back so they got to hang onto them or bit of everything

also was wondering what could you put on a powered site if you don't have a van that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that doesn't take forever to pack in trailer or boot, setup when you get there, pack up again and bring it all home

(means what can you put on a powered site that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that's always packed or has things in it and you only got to do a few things when you get there and that's it)

because a van you only got to unhook it wind legs down plug cord in and setup annex and put a few things out and that's about it because itd be good to have a regular area to have people around then the finding younger friend might be easier and until you get the van you got to make do

Answer - Meet people, preferably real people, in real life

Some also have a car that needs heaps of things fixed and can only afford them bit by bit and have to put up with not being able to go weekly until all fixed though occasional trip may not be a problem. Updating is not a option neither is shifting

Answer - Keep fixing bit by bit, stop doing unnecessary mods.


also not everyones in a position to change cars every so long.

Answer - Correct, best advice my mother gave me was "Buy the car your ego can least afford"

why do alot people start thinking of another car when repairs get to $500-$1000 each time while they can still get $1000, $2000, $3000 for the old car instead of waiting for the old one to die completely or until theyre told they need to spend $2000-$3000 on things, what makes people think about it

Answer - Don't think about other cars

is it lots minor things that makes them think about it or is it because they have family that live some distance and they want to make definite plans and have little problems or like most people dont have the patience to deal with the minor things anymore, or they become too annoying. spose you can understand why they do it

Answer - If it isn't broken, don't fix it

is it also because some people have to travel or want to go places and not have the thoughts of being stuck somewhere, do they also feel that anything you can put towards your next car makes a difference so they sell the old one while they can still get some money to go towards it.

Answer - Yes, some people travel.

also not everyone is in a position to get another car, some dont want to get rid of them, some cant afford one, some like older cars, some have already put so much money into them (enough they nearly could get another one) theyll never get their money back so they got to hang onto them or bit of everything

Answer - Correct, I feel this is where you are right now.

also was wondering what could you put on a powered site if you don't have a van that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that doesn't take forever to pack in trailer or boot, setup when you get there, pack up again and bring it all home

Answer - 6x4 box trailer - not real comfy though.

(means what can you put on a powered site that's as comfortable as a van/cabin that's always packed or has things in it and you only got to do a few things when you get there and that's it)

Answer - See answer above.

because a van you only got to unhook it wind legs down plug cord in and setup annex and put a few things out and that's about it because itd be good to have a regular area to have people around then the finding younger friend might be easier and until you get the van you got to make do

Answer - Social times at a powered site, with no van. Good luck my friend.

I'm confused by the "younger friend" part. What does it matter if your friends are slightly younger, slightly older or the same age?
Participate in activities in your local area. Join groups, clubs, multiplayer sports, go to dog parks...

Edit: I mean go to dog parks WITH a dog. Don't be that guy who turns up at a dog park without a dog, that's just weird.

This is your solution.

Sell the car, then you don't have to worry about it and running costs
Invest in public transport, then you can go places
Else, buy video games and lock yourself in your house

I'm also going to give you one phrase.

If you want to visit someone and they mean that much to you, then you will go out of YOUR way to visit them, if they don't want to visit you, then they aren't someone to associate with.

Now, don't come back and post the same thing again.

Apologies to th OP didn't know you had asperger's good luck with it all mate. I have a medical condition that can be socially isolating for long periods of time good luck with it all.

Have a think about that before you post next time...

In today's society, I'd rather a smile on my face than a hole in my heart.
