I definitely want to keep racing and we want to have something fun to drive, but the desire to own expensive cars is really going away quickly.
Even though I seem like (and probably am) a yuppie snob, as you know, I don't make big purchases easily. That said, age and events in my life have shifted me a bit to a YOLO attitude, hence the M3 purchase. The LR4 was pricey, but not crazy and should average out to a reasonable expense over time.

Again the only financially silly purchase has really been to go for the M3 over the GTI, but the reasons why I did it are well-documented here. I'm over it.

I have no vices or expensive hobbies.
