Agreed. I'm firmly in the boat of "expensive things own you" so I avoid owning them. I do try to take care of what I have but don't obsess over things that can and do happen.
That said. I did get rid of a perfectly good 2002 Camry to buy a Mustang Mach e about 14 months ago. It was pure indulgence and I'm still smitten. I try to take care of it, but don't park across 2 spaces an extra 200 meters away while at the grocery.
