Well, to be fair, maintenance is a hassle, sorta. But the way I look at it, it's a hassle in the same way that exercising is a hassle. I get up at 4am at least 4 days a week to go work out. Is it a hassle getting up that early? Yep, absolutely.

To me, that's part of what it means to be enthusiastic about owning my car, just like working out is part of what it means to be enthusiastic about being alive.
