Bit the same with the "immaculate" bit. You end up being precious about the car


Agreed, and this is what seems completely bizarre to me about the whole 'flash car' thing. What's the point of owning a car you can't drive whenever you fancy? There's not even any poser value if it sits in the garage all its life and no-one ever gets to see it.

Spend less money and buy a car that you can use and enjoy. Then spend the money you have saved on guitars, cameras, bicycles, or any of the other things you can enjoy when not driving.
