Not that you forfeit the ticket when you sell it, but most people tend to back off once they do. Which is fine if other things are gaining priority in their lives. This is not a judgment; only an observation that, for those on tt.net, the car and the community are a package deal.
Anyone who TRULY believes "it's just a car" is not "wasting" their time on this forum. I'm tired of seeing that argument on this forum for enthusiasts of the car where it clearly doesn't apply.
I remember when you were happy and enthusiastic; what made you become bitter?
