I would love just to be in a position to discard a nearly new car for no good reason except carelessness and laziness. That's to say nothing of expensive trains. It takes all kinds, right? We have all owned cars that made us sorry we bought them. Wouldn't it be a blast to just trade it in and buy another? What freedom it would be. I think of the guy I saw driving a Bentley convertible in downtown Chicago eating a huge, greasy sandwich looking like he couldn't have been happier. I guess if you have enough loot, it doesn't bother you if the thing gets dirty. Just go buy another one and not look back. That's not my personal goal but can't help envying someone who's so free from worry. I have waited my whole life to buy some beautiful O scale 3-rail trains and value them so much I have most in their boxes waiting for the occasion when I have a layout to enjoy them on. (carpet central) Some are in a display case where they give me pleasure every day. They are still as clean as the day they were made. That's a kind of accomplishment.
