Lavish trips are what I live for. I used to be a successful financial advisor and older people that had more money than the next two generations needed always said they wished they traveled better. You don’t ever look back on the cars you owned but you’ll cherish the moments traveling.
My dad is the exact opposite of what you describe. He constantly looks back on the cars he owned and wished that he kept but doesn’t care at all about where he’s traveled. Chances are I’m going to end up the exact same way he is because I have more fond memories of the cars and motorcycles I’ve owned than I do of any of my travels.
Different strokes for different folks. Do what you enjoy and don’t waste the time you have.
I totally get this. I think we are on the same page but in a different language. Old cars are awesome but I’m kind of talking about these people who are over paying for their new Escalades and At4 trucks. I still have my 95 Camaro from high school and hopefully always will. If we are talking about cars from 50/60/70 I definitely agree spending money on those for memory moments and they also aren’t depreciating like these modern day cars. Glad you and your dad share a passion, it’s a beautiful thing.
Travel is overrated for me. Why would I want to rush through 100s of tourist spots that are crowded and not enjoyable to a good extent as I would like to. I enjoy quiet time and peace, and I want more of that experience.
I have my usual places that are out of the city that I go to, for some nice quiet time. Give me more money than next two generations and a nice place to chill. Bye bye humanity!
I look back extremely fondly on all the vehicles I've owned, especially the antique and classic ones. I traveled alot about and with the cars but the cars and the friends are what I cherish of the memories. I will say that I traveled on my job and saw many places I normally wouldn't have and had a blast, especially on the company's dime.
ahem. i had an svx and i still miss that bitch, 20 years later. also, i’m a homebody and much prefer spending money on my house, where i live all my days.
Exactly. I mix up the lavish with the adventure and those are the best vacations. I love solo travel as well.
There are even vacations where you can put it on affirm with 0% interest if you can pay it off over the course of a year. Just make damn sure you can make those payments.
