If I could have one back it would be the 70E - and it was a pain in the ass. My decision was not born of frustration, but rather reality. Private schools and college bills took over for 15 years. Had I sat tight, the 70E would have paid a good part of that bill...

When I got the green light to look, first car I brought home was a 2008s. Great shape, one owner. My wife looked at me and said, NO. But only because it didn't need anything, and that I would be hunting for an air cooled car within 6 months. She was not wrong.

I still covet a 3.2 slick top coupe - BUT, love the ability to take the top off and cruise in the Targa. Will keep this until I cannot get in and out of it, and will dump money to fix things that are not really broken. For me the cars are therapy - I can spend 4 hours removing and replacing parts to change out a bolt and I know I have accomplished something. Cheaper than drinking or hiring a therapist.

Thanks for this perspective. My wife and I are embarking on private school (kindergarten on up) and I’m feeling some measure of guilt for having an expensive toy in the garage.
