Comes down to money I guess, if you are minted, then it will be "just" a car.
If you scrimp and save to buy that suspension or air filter youve wanted for so long, then it becomes more than a car I guess.
One of my old RST's we scrimped and saved to buy nice things for, got it looking really nice, sold it, and it was wrote off in less than a fortnight by a 17yr old.
That was a bit gutting and wish I'd never sold it.
Damn YB's!
