That's my POV egg-zactly. I have turned my nightmare commute into a hobby.

My friend was telling me how he wanted to drop $4,000 on a Turbo. That would gain him what, 2+ seconds on the 0-60? Me no care. Him speed caveman. Me MPG caveman.

We like to take turns making each other's eyes glaze over when it comes to our car interests, .
