I bought it as a 'toy'. I went the last 15 years without a car and nothing has changed. I didn't need to buy a car. After 15 years of not owning a car, owning one now seems almost alien to me.
Anyway, newsflash! .....it's HIS car, not yours. I'd maybe, just maybe start listening to your opinion and start driving it the day you started paying for my mods.
Sorry, just my opinion. I'm sure it's a huge pain in the *** to have to listen to him all the time, but rather than come here looking for advice, just tell him to STFU.

you now need to invest $150+ to get all them swirls out... not to forget the hazing damage done to your headlamps that you cant see until yellowing.

Now as far as true car enthusiast is concerned. It's someone who respects cars for all their strengths and weaknesses. I didn't buy a Camaro SS and Mustang GT because I see too many of them on the road and wanted a little exclusivity. I know they're more powerful and can straight line perform better than ours on paper, but I'm currently working on my driving skills to take them on the track. Do i still like and respect them? Yes. I think they're great looking cars and I give them the thumbs up and props when I one smiling at me through the window. We RWD guys are a certain breed, we need to walk that line between grip and slip to get our adrenaline pumping. For that I commend anyone willing to drive our cars daily. Swirls and environmental damage to our paint is inevitable. I'll spend 2 times a year detailing the crap out of the car and its ME time and oh well it happens. I bought a sports car and drive it as such. Not a Louis Vuitton purse to take out on special occasions.

Ranting a little on how much I love my car and cars in general.
