I never feel like it's mine if I lease...I own.

DITTO x 3. I have considered leasing in the past and actually signed a contract to do so once, but tore it up afterwards LOL...While I understand you see neat things and want to make yours a bit customized and neat...why would one put a lot of $ into doing so when you will NOT recup any ofit at all and you turn it back into the dealerwho then makes more money off YOU with your nice customized ride?? (OR you buy out the lease and they then have made a real killing off you.)

I personally lease andnever buy. I never plan on paying off or owning an old vehicle, Ialways want to drive a new one.Besidesyou trade it in just like you bought it anyway so there isn't a lot of difference. I don't care about the miles cause they make plans for a lot of driving. I customize every lease, and I've never had a problem turning in cars or trucks. Just my $0.02.

Sure, there are pros & cons to leasing which is why I considered doing so once. However, I don't choose to make a car payment every month for the rest of my car owning life and driving a car for a year or so free and clear is nice. I also have always sold every one of my vehicles outright when I am done with it and done quite well because I keep/maintain my vehicles in like new condition.

No way I could mod a leased car.

I couldn't pass up the 0% financing when I purchased mine.
