I think this is all fantastic but in the end for me it's already done and all getting super old... I kind of just want to get married, have kids and be left alone somewhere in a medium market city... even if with middle class salaries.
And I know this will sound heretic but I genuinely think cars are slowly but surely either becoming a thing of the past or incredibly outplayed with the current social media gen... I almost want to not be associated with any car event, car culture or automotive lifestyle in general.

I don't remember 99% of the crap I've bought over the years, but I remember the experiences I've had. I had a coworker once who told me, I hate my job so I spend all my money buying shit to make me feel better about my shit job. I totally agree and over time the dopamine kick you get from buying crap gets less and less.
As for cars they are still my achilles heel, however for me it's more about the activities surrounding the car. Washing it, fixing it, going to the track, more so than buying the car itself. I've always loved cars and unfortunately getting older has not changed that.
It's a work in progress.
