This.
The OP’s daydreaming seems rooted in experiences and possessions that suggest a well-heeled life. I don’t claim to know the OP or his station in life, but do know those that have accumulated unbelievable wealth, in large part from PE, VC and the like, that retired” in their early 40s. Think “f you” money that allows them to chase any and all whimsy. As with the general MO of their former careers, long term success is not really the point. Get in, get out. After all, the current air cooled market isn’t being driven by the everyday Porsche guy.
