mine is actually very simple and i am a big car fanatic but can't bring my self to buying new expensive cars every so often and rather invest that money.

first car was hand me down/bought, brother bought car 1993 acura vigor back in 2000 and he used for like 6 months and then i took over the payments. drove that car from 16 till 23 total of 7 yrs and then at 23 got a brand new 08 limited 6spd and plan to drive this for 3-5 yrs and then upgrade.

now the fun part about owning a car for a long time is doing all the work and modding it to improve it. My acura had horrible fluted lenses and lighting was crap crap crap. i retrofiitted Acura TSX HID projector which blow away the crossfire projectors into a jdm one piece headlights and just like that i upgraded the intake, exhaust, suspension, brakes, system and loved that car and hate to let it go but had to get the crossfire due to this thing called perma-grin.
