I paid/pay for... and it's different kind of love. It's an accomplishment. It's pride knowing what you can do for yourself. I'm not overly crazy on the road.. tho.. I do have short bursts of crazy go nuts. But.. I always know to calm down and be safe... and just sit back.. and cruise.. and enjoy my ride for what it is.
Good point. Thats the thing with that car I saved up cash since I was 12 (I purchased the car at 17) and while my friends were buying all kinds of stuff, I kept banking my money. At the time of purchase, I had 12k to put down on the car.
