I have a friend who is not interested in anything. Of course he had a girlfriend, married her, and have kids. He does buy regular things such as cars, house, machine and I has needs but those are normal needs. He didn't like stereo like I did. He didn't like to modify japanese cars like I did when we were young. He likes Porsche if you give he one, but he doesn't even know what model it is if one pass by. There are times I wish I don't have hobies, not only to save $$ but also save a lot of time. Imagine if I can't have the car I like now, I think I will be very bored or maybe into something even worse. But oh well, this is how I am built.

my bro in law is like this...he couldnt identify a new car model to save his life. no car magazine subscription, no dedicated car wash bucket, no stockpiles of the latest synthetic oil. what happened to us? we drive a billion dollar money making machine, fueled by our car addiction.
sorry, i am bored today. i wonder where i got to the crossroad in life that made me a car lover. my parents were not, my sister pretends...my brother and i...we are both all in. i would be much richer financially, if i was a non-car freak.
(no disrespect for the chevy malibu lovers...not even sure if chevy had one in the 90's)
