A long time ago I was talking to a guy that my father is friends with. He was building a really tricked out 72 Chevy pick-up. The thing was really cool, but good lord, he was spending billions on it. Which brings me to the point of the story. He told me, "You don't own a vehicle, that vehicle ownes you." I never thought this to be true untill I started pricing out everything I wanted to do to my Cooper.

I got to thinking about all the costs involved in just owning the thing and I was amazed. Then I figurred in the aftermarket stuff and future cost of those parts doing their damage to the car. Holly crap, it's crazy how much it will cost in the long run.

Just wanted to talk, and I figurred this was the right place.

Thanks,
Frank

Oh, ya, good point.

I was looking at a thread that just popped up again that validates my point...

I gotta agree, my MINI owns me. She demands I take her out for daily exercise, expects that I buy her only the best quality drinks, gets whiny when I don't get her together with her other MINI friends, and she has THE most expensive taste in shoes!!! It's a good thing she's so good looking or else I'd have dumped her months ago!!

 

You are so correct! :smile:

I've always joked that after I bought my puppy in 1995 that she owned me!

The IRS owns about 30% of me
