It's kind of mesmerizing to look at pics of a 32-yo car that's in pristine condition

I know I’m a jerk (get over it) but I want a car like this in German racing white. The red looks....incongruous with how the car was used in DTM racing.

What's your plan, FC? Did you register on BAT? Are you onboard for the ride?

Auction definitely stalled, which has me thinking, but I'm getting cold feet about it. I'll think about it tonight and make a decision on whether to go for it or not. But I think I'm giving myself a hard $30k limit and I doubt it will stay under that. I probably won't bid. |

Well, I'm out.
1) Timing: It's a good chunk of money to spend on a car during a pandemic when the economy could get hit hard(er). I also rarely drive as it is and won't for a while. To add yet another car is silly. 2) I love the idea and the looks, but I've never driven one. I need to do that first. 3) I am nervous about buying a car like that unseen. 4) Logistics of storing it without being a headache. 5) Not the right time in our lives for it. Seems like an empty nester's car. I rather have a Boxster. If I were to buy it now, it would be for investment/speculative reasons or FOMO. That is not a good enough reason, I think. |
