To Each, Their Own……….

My dearly departed mom used to say “To Each, Their Own,” and I believe it applies to this photo I took yesterday near my home in Newport Beach, CA. Not my cup of tea, but if the owner likes it, good for him!

I 100% agree with to each his own.

Although that look doesn’t work for me I respect they fact that the owner has the option to make the car what he wants it to be. No way I would spend serious money, or almost any money on insurance, car notes and or buying it out right to then have people with zero vested interest in it dictate how my car should be.

This world would be a very boring place if everyone had the same year, car and color, plus when I see something out there that doesn’t work for me it only makes me appreciate what I have even more.

Good find.

Your mom was a smart lady.
