I didn't realize it myself, until faced with losing it.
I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing, though... when you become attached to something like that, you're more likely to repair and reuse it, rather than just dumping it for the next new shiny thing that comes along. And that's a good attitude, environmentally, I think.
It just sort of sets you up for a big bump when the inevitable happens. But if we never rescued an animal because of the eventual loss down the road... if we never marry because of the death or divorce awaiting us... well, that would be a pretty unhappy life, too, wouldn't it?
Speaking of emotional attachments to vehicles... we still have your scooter. ;-)
