Out of curiosity, how old are you? I ask, because . . .
it appears that you have learned neither patience nor value in your life. As a very emotional person, in my youth, I used to have zero patience and often suffered temper tantrums and depression when life did not go my way and I did not get immediate gradification.
However, with age, I have learned that I will forever feel dissatisfied and unhappy if I did not learn how to be patient and value all the good things I have. Including an A4 in which I have invested over 10,000 hours driving, maintaining, and modding.
My engine rebuild started with a blown head gasket last August! I have borrowed and/or shared cars for almost 10 months; however, I do not feel bitter, because I know that my beloved A4 will run longer, harder, quicker, and more efficiently than ever before.
So, I would recommend becoming more introspective and actively seek to understand life and gain wisdom. Anyone can accumulate knowledge and earn degrees, but few people become wise.

To Master John listen you must now! *Yoda voice*
Wise words there! I always have to put up with people who are after instant gratification, and it drives me nuts. People don't realize that the journey, the "getting you there," is the most important and ultimately gratifying part or the experience.
