Could not agree more…. You definitely don’t buy these and do the upgrades to make money. Or even break even.. but how can u put a price on..

- your teenage son or daughter asking to go for a ride in the “fast car” and watching them smile from ear to ear as you give it a little…

- have a shit day with work or whatever and know that you have a mini vacation waiting for you at home to help relieve the stress of the day

- going to a car show and people are actually asking YOU questions and wanting to see YOUR car (vs you just looking at the various show rides and thinking “one day I will get one”)

- going on a road trip with the Mrs.

- having another person in their nice ride pull up next to you at a light look over and give you a nod as you return the acknowledgement…

My mech is right… it is really all about the “smiles per mile”
