Would you still have a car/bike if you didn't need one for work or your personal life?

YES. I have a car and motorbike for fun only. Use a van for work with private use. Go buy yourself a toy

Yes, just for the joy of driving it if nothing else.

Odd question to ask on here. I`d still have some wheels if I lived underwater.

Yep certainly would, I am hoping to move within walking/easy cycling distance of work when I eventually move out of home (If I can afford it) but I will still have the Mustang of course.

Think I must be getting old, I used to be able to justify buying anything now I question if I could part with my hard earn money on something that I would mainly look at and barely use :/

I do not commute by car, and I always lived centrally enough to not need a car at all. I have always owned a car from before I passed my test to now, just because I want to driving

Absolutely. Makes it even easier to justify a silly car if you don't actually need to drive it anywhere.

Having something to take for a hoon is a basic need in my book!

In my experience the need for a car is often inversely proportional to the practicality and quantity of cars owned...ask me how I know...paperbag

Surely this is just the perfect excuse to buy the most beautiful and impractical car you can find?
