Why do people spend so much time and money on cars?

[mrkilla]

I can tell you why I do it.

I never purchased a car to impress anyone but my self. There is a certain thrill getting behind a fast car, hitting the gas and taking off.

I'm sure its a status symbol for alot of people, but its not why I like it. Its also something fun to work on the weekends and yea street racing is pretty fun too. I sorta wish I didnt care what care I drove I'd buy the cheapest POS that got me from point A - B thats the most economical.

PS FWIW I consider my self a hobbiest, I own an older muscle car I like to build up and repair
