I TOTALLY get it.
I owned a nice little manual hot hatch from new, had it for 15 years and loved it. Drove it to far north Queensland, many trips to Sydney and Brisbane, blasts across the Great Alpine Rd and the Great Ocean Rd. We had many adventures together and it was there through all my ups and downs in life.
Traded it in 2017 for a family-friendly kid-safe second car, which is superior in every way (well apart from the fact it's auto, but even that's a plus the way my commute is these days).
However I'd be lying if I didn't say I miss the hell out of my old car, and wish I could have afforded to hang onto it as a fun weekender and eventual project.
