Total control, most fun, satisfaction - exactly.
Even though I daily mine, you could also say I bought mine purely for pleasure - visual, tactile and aural. I end up using it for many purposes, but there were dozens of other cheaper and more practical options I could have gone with that could have served me better as a commuting appliance. The feeling this car gives me was at the top of my list, however, and the more involved I am with the car, the greater the feeling.
