There are a lot of cars I’d like to drive, might want to own, but I can’t afford, could never justify, or will never even get an opportunity to sit in. And that’s okay.

I’ve been driving shitboxes so long, I’ve given up on having anything nice or new. I do desperately want to get back in a manual.

There are a lot of cars I’d like to drive, might want to own, but I can’t afford, could never justify, or will never even get an opportunity to sit in. [insert countless types of experiences, places to visit, people to get to know, books to read, food to try here] that I’ll never get to [experience, visit, meet, read, eat, etc] . And that’s okay.

Doesn’t keep me from trying though.

Oh and also the cars thing. That too.

Also a no. There’s no old school IBM tech in it.

There’s a lot of [nouns] that I’ll never get to [verb ]. And that's okay.

That’s kind of depressing, but also a little inspirational to keep trying things.

It is, but on the other hand, think of all the experiences that are realistic, and look forward to doing as many of them as possible - and makes plans to do them.

The STI is one of those cars ? I’m pretty sure you could sit in one! I still look at them every now and then even though it would cost a crazy amount to insure.

Drive what you got! I love my ST and don't think I could part with it. Not due to sentimental reasons, just don't think I could get the.same bang for buck anywhere else.

At this stage in life, I thought I would own something much nicer, much newer. Unless you count a fleet 2014 Tacoma or a 2012 Tundra, I have never even driven a new car.

That’s true, but you’ll also drive some stuff you never would’ve expected. Make connection s with other car people and you never know what may happen...

Life is weird. I never thought I’d actually be able to get an M3 at 24 I also never thought I’d be alone at 29.

Working on it! Granted, I could’ve gone without driving that Ford Transit and getting it stuck.
