So the answer is somewhere in between those two.....

Definately more than just a car, but don't want to go too mad
I never keep a car more than 3 years ( if it's any good ) and had this over 4 now, so got to say something.
Just can't say it's my pride and joy, as don't go as mad I used to, as you never know when some scrote will spoil it.

This morning I noticed another car park dent in my car, it looks like some tit opened their door against it and carried on pushing, flexing the panel. If I'd have seen them do this I think I could quite happily knocked them to the ground and driven over their stupid hollow head

i did this a few times when i started off, didnt seem to be well praised for doing it mind, but anyhow i really like my car its the first car with a lot of things for me but even if it was a basic model i still like the shape and way it drives.
