That point being when you have spent lots of money on your car, got it all running right, but then want to sell it as you are so paranoid about something else breaking and you having to spend more money on it

Tbh the only time i feel like that is when i have spent ages sorting it out, it
runs perfectly and then you get a silly little niggle

Big problems i dont mind, its the small ones that piss me off !

Ive always said as long as i have a garage to keep it in, i will never sell it......

However when it breaks i could scrap it sometimes...

Id never have spent as much as i have if i wasnt going to keep it.

As frustrating as it is, when it does break its nice to bolt on that nice new shiny part, stand back, sit down and hide the bill from your missus.....
