Sreten aka M539restorations rebuilt a Maserati. Engine still blew up 15 minutes later due to a design flaw. Older ones are less horrible, but that’s irrelevant.
I’ve owned cars of various sorts and none has brought me as much joy as the first one. A piece of shit 1992 Audi 80. Why? I had the best memories in it because I was in a healthy relationship and we did road trips in it. Saw a lot of new places, etc. The journey matters, not the car you do it in. In fact, you could just rent a car. Or take a train somewhere.
My 2019 Mercedes was the best car I’ve owned in nearly every metric, but I never had these amazing trips in it. It holds no special place in my heart.
The tree house, being something you build yourself is infinitely more meaningful. And I say this as a car guy.
A tree house would bring me more happiness than any luxury car.
