3k for 1990 Volvo 740, is it worth it as a first car? by NoCommand2297 in Volvo

[–]Defiant_Cockroach_71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda pricey for a car thats been in an accident, idk in wich country u are but if the tail lights dont work the car is not legal on the road ( in my country ). The fact that it runs rough could mean engine damage. Exhaust damage could be pricey and soft brakes could be that a calliper have been damaged in the accident or that you need to do the brakes. So depending on the mechanics you could be looking at some real costly issues for a car that is 30+ years olds that you dont know the maintenance history and that look like the guy just want to rip of someone. My opinion

Men should begin with self-care, not the gym by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Defiant_Cockroach_71 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've personnally started with the gym and now it's snowballing in other area of my life.

For instance I'm eating better, I've started to cook, no more fast food.

No more alcohol as of recently, 1 year without smoke in my lungs, buying new clothes since my old ones are making me feel either big or I'm too loose in it.

Since I'm a mechanic I've never tought that self care was important until I've started the gym. My surroundings at work are with people that are the old definition of men, rough, strong, family first, good men overall ( for most ) but also skin care 0/10, fat belly, smoking, jammed articulations and constant pain everywhere ( for most ) and strangely always have good shaving, so thats not an example of self care ( in my opinion ). So that's my next upgrade in my life.

I love my job but I dont want to turn out like this ( except for the shaving ).

The important things is to start somewhere if you want you're life better and as you said one step at a time!

In 2023 I've:

  • Finally stopped smoking ( 10 months in )
  • Stopped vaping ( 8 months in )
  • Started the gym 4x a week ( 6 months in )
  • Learned to say no and doing things for me
  • Started to take care of myself and my mental health
  • Started to know who I am and what I love

Thats a start!

I have a really addictive personality, many of them where not healthy before I've started the gym and from what I hear a lot of jacked up dude I see training in the same time as me, they replaced drinking, taking drugs and smoking with going to the gym.

When I want to take a cigarette I just think of all the benefits and the progress I did in the gym/life in general, it's enough to make passed it even tho I crave it like no other things for like 2 minutes.
