Recently, I had my car in the shop to repair some body damage and I don't think I realized how deeply I love my car until I was not able to drive it.
I don't think that I necessarily take my car for granted because our other car is a Toyota Sienna SE and while serving a useful purpose for space and cargo capacity, it is definitely at the opposite end of the spectrum of automobiles. I enjoy having the choice of two cars and will typically pick my car if given the option.
I still remember scaring the living crap out of my family when I accidentally took our Sienna through a nearby roundabout at the same speed that I normally would with my FR-S. It just plowed through the thing all of the while the tires were howling in pain from what I was asking them to do. My wife was looking at me afterwards as if I was some sort of crazy lunatic. In a way, she really doesn't like it when I take it quick in the FR-S either, but, as long as I don't drift through the roundabout, she tolerates it as I giggle like a tickled baby boy.
