Though sometimes I wish I wasn't a construnction worker, so I could drive something nice everyday. As much as I love having a pickup, I'd also love to daily drive a nice goat, especially in that orange color.

It was good money, but it certainly ages you quicker than a comfy desk job

I'm far from rich, my priorities are just skewed towards cars and car parts. For example, we do not have any formal dining room furniture, we have boxes of car parts in there
