"Yea, I got issues."
Yea. You do.
But loving automobiles makes perfect sense. I understand the champaigne thing. But I'd prefer that you find a way to keep her in your family. A man's got to have a handful of things he feels he can count on. though, for most men, a Land Rover is not one of those things.
Hey, I had an Audi Fox. No one considered it to be a good or reliable car. Well, let me tell you... Those seats were the most comfortable I have ever sat in. Nothing ever went wrong with that car. There were times I drained a quart of mud from the crankcase when changing oil (biannual oil changes, whether it needed one or not). It sat in the rain for a few years before I decided I had no use for her any more. It went to the junk yard. I drove it there. Started right up.
