Is it normal that i'm unhappy with my dream car?

I love him/her (it's androgynous), but at the same time I hate everything it stands for - submission, slavery, determinism, death, murder, vanity, neglect, disloyalty, unfaithfulness, arrogance. There are strange situations revolving around the purchase of this car. I feel like people have suffered and sacrificed in order for me to have this excessive luxury. I also feel like it creates a misleading image of me because I do not have the income to afford this car. It was a gift. Everyone thinks I deserve this car, but I don't think I do. How can I live with this for the next 15-20 years?

    You're thinking way too deeply.
    Enjoy your damn car and get over it.

      I have thought about doing this many times, but the person who bought it for me saved up money for years so that I would have a nice car that would last me for years.

    Did you kill someone for it?

      No, but I do feel that I could have prevented someone's death by choosing this other car I was looking at. A friend of mine murdered her ex the day after my car was purchased and her ex knew the car dealer who was trying to sell me the car I should have chose. I know that sounds silly, but the events seem related. I didn't know the victim and I wasn't involved in that event at all, yet I feel like I could have prevented it by giving that dealer that sale he seemed to so desperately need. I don't know if the victim was that dealer's friend, best customer or what but I saw that he commented on his facebook page after his death so they must have been at least somewhat close.

      Not to mention, my daughter has told me like 10 times that she had a dream my car got crushed.

        I think you're putting too much thought into it. Even if you prevented him from being murdered that day, she would have killed him later anyways. If someone is going through with killing they're going to do it whether it's today, tomorrow, or whenever. Stop thinking about what you can't change and enjoy your car.

    Get a motorcycle.

    Talk to the person who got the car for you. Explain to them that you are thankful, but you want to get another (less expensive) car. If they don't understand, then offer to pay them with the money you sell the car for.

    Sell it and use the money to charity, it seems like it's what you want.

      How do you figure that that is what I want? I'm practically a charity myself, I just have a nice car.

        You are just not greedy enough to keep a expensive car all for yourself, when that money could have gone to someone who really needs it. I'd say that's a good thing.

    Give it to a poor family. Ideally one so poor they can't afford guilt and so won't be bothered by it.

      A guiltless person deserves this car less than I do.

          Money and guilt have nothing to do with one another. You're basically telling me to give my car to some psychopathic gangster, in which case it wouldn't last 2 months. I know you were just trying to be clever, but giving any car to a person with no conscience would only cause further destruction.

    Well, I think it's normal and good to have a conscience and think about others in the world. I suggest you enjoy your car, and perhaps do some volunteer work and/or donate to charity. How about delivering for Meals On Wheels? That'd be using your cool new car for good.

        So does quoting that song mean you will use your gift to help others, or that you're ignoring/dismissing the suggestion?

    I don't have a car anymore. Just be glad you even have one to drive. If you feel too guilty of owning it then sell it or give it to a friend and become a monk or something. I get where you are coming from regarding feeling a bit bad about having something with excessive luxury though. But still....come on...

    I thought you were going to say you wanted the car badly, then got it, and didn't like it. In which case I would have said it's normal because the grass is always greener and all that.

    but what you're saying, it sounds like you're just trying to make yourself feel better about buying the car despite all the things you said. that is not normal, it's dumb.

    You are dreaming if you expect 15 years, let alone 20 out of a car built today, so don't worry about that. You'll need another car in a few years.
    I don't understand why you can't be gracious. Enjoy the fact that there is someone on this planet who cares for you enough to see that you are driving around in a nice, safe comfortable car. Driving is absolutely the most dangerous thing we do in our civilized lives; so it ain't so bad having a car that helps keep you safe.
