  1. I’m a big automotive fanatic and love cars but honestly this dude needs another hobby. Step back and consider retirement (unless you can’t afford it) and connect with family, travel, and try new things before it’s too late.

    1. Jaron, FYI, I know Mr. Bougher personally and he does all of the suggestions that you made!
