[QUOTE="Money2536, post: 1034752, member: 21108"] [SIZE="3"][ATTACH=full]259981[/ATTACH] To give you a little background, my name is Matt, and I started journaling the ownership experience of my Porsche 911 GT3 and BMW M3 a few years ago as a way to get out of my own head.

I'm guessing a few of you have unwritten contracts with your significant others when it comes to getting that next unnecessary vehicle.
