1) The freedom to go wherever i want whenever i want, this was the single biggest life changer when i passed my test imho, no asking for lifts from the family, no relying on mates, just find enough money for fuel and off you went and more often than note, just for the sake of it
2) Variety & choice, the debates on here with "what do i get with "£x" budget" are brilliant, there are no rights and wrongs, just personal choice for whatever boxes need ticking, be a f****g boring world if we all aspired to own the same car
3) Speed, obviously
4) Personalisation, its a great feeling being able to sit back and think, not one "whatever car" out there looks the same.
5) People, i have met some really decent folk from here, obviously you cant get on with everyone just because they own the same car, but the ones i have met have been legends, i have even met some nice people through random chats out and about.
