A GT-R Sighting: Memories, Reflections, and Financial Freedom

You can hear the voice recording for the diary.

 

昨日の全身脱毛の契約からの帰り道に、R35 GT-R NISMOが路駐してあったのを見た。しかも、わたしが持っていたものと同じ型式。

On my way home from the beauty salon after my body hair removal treatment, I spotted an R35 GT-R NISMO parked on the street—the same model as the one I used to own.

 

なので、とても親近感を感じたし、やっぱりクルマ自体はカッコイイと思う。しかし、感じたのは余裕が必要だったこと。わたしは、GT-Rを路駐する覚悟が最後までなかった。

Seeing it brought back memories and a sense of connection. I remembered how much I loved my GT-R, but it also reminded me of the emotional burden I felt while owning it. I could never bring myself to park my GT-R on the street, even temporarily, because I was always worried about it.

 

クルマから離れるとどうしてもクルマのことが気になってしまい、落ち着いて買い物や食事ができなかった。

Back when I had the car, I couldn’t fully focus on simple errands like grocery shopping or dining out. My thoughts were constantly consumed by concerns about its safety.

 

高級品、とくに動産は、高いものを買うのは背伸びして買うものではないなと改めて感じた。

That experience taught me that luxury items, especially cars, can be a heavy responsibility—particularly for someone like me, balancing finances and daily life as an office worker.

 

手放してよかったと思うし、今は使うのではなくもっとお金を稼ぎたい。もし、今度こそ持てるようになったらまたその時に考える。

Now, after letting go of the car, I feel relieved and free from the stress it brought. I have no regrets about my decision. Instead, I’m focused on earning more and managing my money wisely. When I reach a point where I can afford it without stress, I’ll reconsider owning a GT-R again.

 

 

To be continued.
