Is not about needing, Jay Leno says something like "you would have too, if you could! Who wouldn't?" He has all kinds of old and new cars, big and small, fast and slow... And I would have too, If I had a lot of money to blow! |

I would not. My interest is not really the owning part, but the driving. I have no desire to own more than one car. More than that seems to be a waste, and I don't like wasting money, not even other people's money. If you own too many things, the things will end up owning you in the end. |

Well, that worry is more about how you deal with owning something, more than how much or what you have, For example, Rowan Atkinson was all cool on "Top Gear" telling how he crashed his McLaren, and then soon after crashed it again! Some people has a crappy car payed for in a gazillion installments, and worries a lot more about keeping and protecting the thing. Ove's attitude is towards enjoying the driving thing, and the experience, not siting at he garage detailing the car... I believe there is a lot more pleasure from driving and traveling than accumulating and owning a lot of whatever behind the wall of some garage. I believe in enjoy what you have, and share with family and friends. |

Thats a serious distance travelled. Is about 14 times around Earth. Is more than the distance to the Moon, you'r half the way back.
You probably used 52000L of gasoline, and produced 122222kg of CO2 over that distance. 55 oil changes, and same number of oil filters, just short of 300L of fine motor oil. Now one would imagine you enjoyed your car for about 9000 hours of driving pleasure, and some more time caring and fixing the car. Keep it going! |

I'm not responsible for every one of those hours though. I'm at least the third owner of this car. The guy I bought it from said he bought it from someone whose online name was "Drift King". Who knows what kind of life this car led before that. |
