Very interesting indeed.
Put's things into perspective. This article is gonna help justify a lot of guys constant modding.

Fuck. I'm currently negotiating a deal on wheels that I don't need for a car I may own someday. I think I may be headed down this road.

His life wasn't ruined from his addiction to BMWs. Hell I have an addiction to BMWs.
His life was ruined because he was a thief and a liar.

Interesting story. I do find this part interesting, "I am withholding Terrance’s last name in this story. Not for his sake, but for his family’s. His kids, I was told, have fears about their names coming up in connection with this story. I’m certainly not looking to compound what they’ve already gone through. (They didn’t want to talk for this story.)". But then the author shows the guys picture and gives the name of his employer. So much for the guy's family privacy.

Wait - what happened to the cars??
50 cars times avg $10k each is $500k to recover. Cars in pics looked clean or were most junkers? |

Just having one car that I can work on and enjoy is enough. This man was just too greedy...owning 50 cars? Stealing money to buy and work on them? That isn't normal

This person definitely had a mental disorder that spiralled his pathological lying and desire to steal money to fuel his addiction. Too bad he wasn't diagnosed earlier in life, surely there must've been multiple obsessive habits before cars....
