Re: I started to wonder...
You should try the Evo and STi.

e.g. c6 z06 it'd be an interesting bet, though. it would make me laugh for sure when i caught myself ogling another car. it has been quite the long amount of time since that has happened, though. well, okay. that has not happened. i have seen the red 360 scream through my town on sundays and i appreciate the car for what it is, but realize i am not envious. maybe if i saw a ford GT on the road. the c6 z51 is enough to catch my attention, but not enough to think that i'm missing out on something just yet. hard to say if that will be true for the c6 z06. the new 997 looks neat, in an overpriced why don't they put in 8 cylinders sort of way.

I think the main issue is that I am too fiscally responsible (cheap? ) to bear the huge depriciation hit of a swapping cars often. Particularly now that "I'm broke." I'm sure as years go by and hopefully we are more financially settled I wont be as willing to put up with a car I don't like just because I want to squeeze the most money out of it. Not that I am currently putting up with either of my cars (well maybe the Benz), but I would if I had to. |

fiscally responsible.
ouch. the fact is, i've never been. why start now? the fact of the matter is that we are all going to corrupt TD and mbr and they will have an itch that becomes an insanely wicked rash and they will have to get different cars sooner than later.

But I'm with mbr where financial constraints keep me from doing all that I'd like to. I can't complain about my car line-up, but I'm also not currently in a position where I can afford to act especially irresponsible.

These waffler threads actually help me. The more I hear people talk about their cars, the more I realise that the Miata is the right car for me. I used to want other cars, to have and to hold; now I just want to maybe drive other cars for the fun of it.
It's fun to thought-experiment what I might get if I ever need a 'practical' car, but if I never do, that's fine.

Hi. My name is blee. (Hi, blee) And I'm a waffler too.
The first car I bought for myself was in December of '99. I saw myself driving that car up to school to propose to my girlfriend, driving it to our wedding, driving it to the hospital to deliver our first baby, etc. etc. etc. I traded it in July of '02. Including that first car, I've owned five cars in less than two years. Now that I have no money, this car is gonna stay for while. i think. My money is now gone, so |
