Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?
The punchline is the way that you've been fuckin' yourself



 Be content with the car I have (2013 Sonic Turbo) and not sell it after a few months to buy something else (and repeat over and over again).

I've gotten away from fun and fast cars and it sounds like my chumpcar team (only did 1 race) is disbanding this year. I'd like to get back into track days eventually. I'd just like to have a garage and tow vehicle first. That can wait another couple years, I hope.

I kept the car and am still enjoying it! I didn't buy a fun car this year which is good (bought one every 6 months to a year for 2-3 years, got bored, sell, repeat, profit). The Sonic isn't the most sporty fun car I've ever had, but it isn't bad, either. It's a great DD and despite the little turbo engine's potential for more power and such I haven't modded it. I took it to one track day at the local track and didn't swap a drat thing (brake pads, fluid, etc) and it was flawless (besides the one front tire I nailed a cement apex marker with and bubbled the sidewall...). Brakes have a little less initial bite than they used to but otherwise it fared well and wasn't even the slowest thing on track :). I didn't plan to track the car but it was $75 for like 4 sessions and I couldn't resist. I don't like the idea of tracking a DD so I probably won't do it again until I have another car.

Still no garage or tow vehicle and attached track car. I'm buying a house and garage this next year though, and maybe a project car if I'm lucky and not house poor.
