So are you buying your car for you or the next owner? ;-)

Its a battle I always fought with myself even. Should I make xyz change to my car? WIll it hurt
resale? Should I get in the seat the right way so I dont have wear patterns on the leather? Should I
keep mileage down even though I LOVE driving the car just so it holds value??

I finally came to the conclusion "Screw it"  the car is for me, not for the next owner...
