Hello all,
I know material things shouldn't matter much, but sometimes we can't get by without them. For instance, when I was at my job, in the middle of all the office politics, selling my soul to try to get along. the only good part of the day (besides coming home to my family) was the drive to & from work. I had a decent car. It was a 2001 Honda Accord EX V6. However when it got t-boned Christmas Eve by some kid who ran a stop sign (I lost consciousness). I figured I was working hard enough, I wanted to buy something nice.
Against my wife's wishes who thought I should buy something older & have it paid off completely, I bought a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6. Here is a pic (except mine is black):

Before my breakdown, I remember the only joy during the week was driving this car while listening to the radio. I shouldn't admit this, but you guys already know how stupid I am, but I was working late one summer evening and the highway was empty...There was a long stretch on I-84 where I could see if there were police, so I decided to run it up. I acutally got scared & took my foot off the gas after the odometer passed 140 MPH (221.31KPH to all you non Yankees out there).
At least I listened to my wife & put extra money down on it (instead of spending it on stupid crap), since I subsequently lost my job from said breakdown, so don't have to worry about them taking it away from me.
What do you guys do to blow off stress (play video games, watch porn, etc)?
