Getting my car, joining SCOA, and becoming president of SIN (I have since resigned) has helped me on four of five subtopics.
Repairs-When my car broke down and I had to get my interlock switch replaced, I spoke with a few people who have had similar issues but different resolutions. Also, if it hadn't been for the discussion about roof crazing, I wouldn't have even checked mine for it. I never open my sun shade because I burn so easily!
Assistance-When my car broke down, I sent out a message asking for help to all of my fellow SIN members. Almost everyone said they wished they could, but unfortunately couldn't because of work or other engagements. One member (magilly00) was already headed that way so he came and got me and took me to my car. Although I offered, he wouldn't accept anything for helping me.
Friendships-WOW! I have made so many amazing friends through these clubs. There are so many kind and caring souls throughout the smart community, it is really incredible. I never knew that buying a car would change my life in such a huge way.
Confidence-I have a severe anxiety disorder, agoraphobia. It keeps me from going in public alone. Even going to dinner with friends is sometimes very challenging. Attending events has helped me broaden my horizons and form friendships that make me feel more confident about going out alone. I usually don't leave my car between home and the event meet place, but being able to leave the house without someone with me is a HUGE step.
