I have a shitbox cop car with a honking big engine. If I had had it in
high school, I'd probably be dead now.

Little car teach me to drive careful. Big car teach me to drive slow (can
conserve gas).

It's amazing what a motivation it can be to pay for things yourself.
Particularly insurance. That has stopped me from speeding. This month, my
insurance goes down as the last of my three tickets comes off. About
time..
