I've owned a pile of cars in my life. Several I just HAD to have. The passion was overwhelming. You think "damn I'm gonna love this thing forever". Nope. Nothing lasts forever. I love my TD, but do I still have
the boundless fixerup energy I had the first week of purchase, no.
Do I recognize it is one of the more worthy vehicles to commit to for a
long time, yes. I suspect I'll have it until I die, barring any accident like
Staggerlee's Stella. Will you still have the "buzz" to change your oil after
a few years, naw, but you'll do it just because you know, if you do, this car will be running very many years after your neighbor's annoying Prius
is in the boneyard
