Cars that don't break and get decent mileage...where's the fun in that? What would I do with that extra time and money anyway? Get into trouble, that's what. Working on a Land Rover is God's work, saving each of us from the sins of apathy, complacency, and Prius snobbery. We each have our own cross[member] to bare, and that's what keeps us in pursuit of right-living...or something.
Dude, that is so well put, I took delight in reading it.
I heard from a very wise person once the following quote about happiness:
"Happiness is: 1) Something to do, 2) something to look forward to, and 3) someone to love."
Land Rovers fulfill two out of the three, with ease (and possibly even the third).
