I could’ve probably bought a house for cash if I didn’t spend what I spent on cars in the past 15 years. Do I regret it? Nope. I’ve met every person I’m good friends with through cars in some way. I took a short break now I have two cars again. It’s like a disease.

We all need a hobby and life’s too short to be miserable and count your money you’ll never spend.
