Because you're outnumbered with your crazy 'thinking about it' disease you seem to have. Face your fears, do it, sit back with a brew (1 sugar) and laugh to yourself about the day you almost thought too much about pissing money away on your car. Take her for a spin, get all the girls, get your photo in the paper and retire a millionaire.

Ok, far fetched but you get the picture. ;-D
