There was a time in my childhood when I was mad about cars. I wanted to buy a dream/luxury car one day. I had almost memorized specification of all cars in market.
Even until few years back I remained up to date with is happening in auto industry.
But sadly, in last few years, I started to lose interest in cars! Even in this forum I mostly browse non-motoring section lately.
Nothing major happened in my life. I am still young (in late 30s). Although I now have a toddler to take care for and certainly life has become busier with time.
Earlier I used to despise people who knew nothing about cars and considered myself superior because I could explain others what AWD/ESC/ABS/differential/chain cam etc meant.
Once upon a time, those who drove automatics, I used to consider them "disabled".
What the heck - last few years I'm driving an auto myself (and very unlikely to return to manual again).
I used to laugh at people who treated cars like washing machines or fridges because I thought they were unable to realize how cars had souls too!
Now even I am using my car as white goods :(
Also, at this point I am able to afford a luxury car (a used Porsche or Merc E class etc.) but it feels like a waste(!) to spend that much on car (which is a depreciating asset).
Have you ever felt the same?
