Single here, so now is the time to have fun. Anyway, taking the
car apart and DIY stuff and put it back can be consider a hobby,
just a very ex one. I calculated that if I am still single in the
future, I have about 3 years to save up for housing. Loan ends in 5
years time, and 3 years later, I will be 35. 
Anyway, my mods include ICE. Just like in my room I have DVD system
and projector. When I married friend came into my friend, he just
say a turely Bachelor room.
If I am lucky enough to get hitch soon, car might have to go for
bigger projects and stuff. But now is the time to have fun. Taking
public transport with your love ones isn't that bad, taking it
alone is boring! 
I once heard a friend analyse that if you can't save at least 1
hour from drving per day, that it isn't worth it. I reduced my time
of going to work from 1.75 hours to 0.5 hours per trip. Meaning 2.5
hours saving per day just because of work.
