I couldnt agree more with this. You have to enjoy it and if you dont then a break is needed.
I've only had my car for a couple years now and there is just so much that I want to do so I do it. Eventually I'll get most everything major done on it and then I wont pay to much attention any longer. At least you saved up for something important that you wanted to do instead of wasting that money away on something dumb.
