I must admit, I agree with Newman. I wish I would have started with a better platform than my last ride. I was so eager to get into the whole car thing, and didn’t realize that in the end I would have been happier just saving my money and buying the car I really wanted. Maybe then I wouldn’t have had to wait till I was almost 30 years old to finally own the car I have always wanted.

It just seems like you are trying to gold plate a turd. It might look pretty in the end, but it is still a turd.
