My post wasn't a judgment on your decisions or anyone else's. The virus has just shown us what we really value in life, and number one is time with our family and friends. We can't buy more time but putting as much money away in investments will get me to the "finish" line that much sooner. I actually really enjoy my job, so the "finish" line is probably where I cut my hours to half-time and spend the rest of that time on extra trips to ski with my brother or whatever.

The other part of it is most cars have gone the exact opposite direction of what I want. I really just want them to be entertaining and engaging. New cars are just so distant-feeling and digital when I want them to be analog. And if I want something bonkers I'd prefer to just build it myself (like my RX-8).
