Nothing wrong with changing it, but it leaves me wondering . Am I doing right? I think I am.
I think it's mainly boredom, people see are a car they like so get it. My dad changes his car every 18 months or two years maximum. He just fancies a change, i don't remember any car hanging around for very long. I also used to work with someone that changed their car every 4-6 months, they got bored very quickly.
