I used to love cars, but maybe not as much as you do. I loved the way they felt when you could turn around tight corners. The feel of shifting in a manual transmission, and even the freedom to go where ever you could imagine. The offroad abilities of certain cars even excited me.
What I am trying to get to is, you have to look at the pros and cons of car ownership. Maintenance, gas, traffic, stress, and ownership can really cost you some money. What is the point of having a car?
I got to the point where it was just a vehicle to get me from point A to point B. I think I realized that when I moved abroad.
Being abroad lent me the opportunity to not have to rely on cars. I relied on a bike, my own two feet, and public transportation. My reliance on vehicles was gone, and therefore my love of vehicles disappeared.
Other things became important to me in life besides cars. So what you need to do is to see why you value your car? Would the cost of maintenance, gas, insurance, and anything else deter you from owning your BMW or a new fun car?
What are your goals? I am working to save for Financial Independence so car payments would deter that. Loving cars is just something I got out of.
