  • I loathe driving junky beaters...been down that road before.
  • I loathe driving boring ugly cars (I had a brand new Ford Fusion on loan and it was horrendous, made my commute miserable)
  • I don't joyride pointlessly on weekends, in fact, I don't even like driving on weekends (traffic, tired from work, etc..) so if I didn't drive it normally - to work, groceries, etc., I wouldn't drive it at all
  • Rather drive a vehicle and enjoy it in its heyday and enjoy the compliments and being in style rather than trying to enjoy it as a weekend joyrider 10 years from now and it being out of style (not that I care so much what other people think, I myself like to move onto newer higher tech stuff as new models come out).
  • I don't work in the winter (seasonal job) and don't have to drive in the snow and can wait for the roads to be clear.
I'm a lot of this list. I DD'd a 2006 TBSS for a few years, even though I went 13.7 with it, I was still super bored. I like to enjoy my 6 mile one way commute.

Oops?


Better:


But soon I will:


Can't wait to add my splitter, she'll look even better than last year:
