How do you shake the urge?

I really want to replace my daily driver with a Subaru WRX STi. I shouldn't because I need to be saving for a house, blah blah blah. I've got no kids or wife to talk sense into me...How do I stop the itch?

You live, get married and die.

You are in the "live" phase - and don't forget it.

K21 is somewhat right..me, happily ( really) married for 20 yrs, she loves the P, for now go and get the Subie, hopefully your time will come ,and THEN you will have to make compromises, not a bad thing either.

Here is a link to a single guy who just purchased a Impreza 2.5i Wagon. Although not a Subaru WRX STi you could always pretend to be.

Matt,
I was in the same situation not so long ago. I focused on the resale/investment possibilities with buying the house, and the percept of : My house, attached to My garage, which contained My 911. Got a basic brick rancher with a two car garage and an older, but not too boring daily driver.
Next step is to flip the house and upgrade all. Rinse and repeat.

The MR is an incredible machine. I want used, and I like the older STi over the older evo for a few reasons. thanks for advice freybird, I'm going to try to hold out about a year and a half more, unless the DD toyota calls it quits before then. Maybe then MR's will be in my price range, but I like the subie.
