As long as you keep loving it, it'll keep running

My clutch went out on my car.

This time when I got money I took my brother's advice, and put some in a "Never touch" account. Then, I took Suze Orman's advice -- "People always spend whatever they have. Set it up so you don't think you have any," -- and put some in a savings account.

Normally if my clutch went out, it would be an emergency. I would not have money to pay for it, because I would have splurged it on books. This time, though, I had the money in savings. And the Never-touch stayed never-touched.

Chocolate doesn't taste like it used to. Lots of foods don't. I mean, they taste -- but they're mostly fuel. The charge is going off of them. And it's going onto new behaviors, like investing in my car.

"These '88 Legends will run forever," said the Acura guy. "As long as you keep loving it, it'll keep running."
