i may miss my targa on the occasional day
but most of the time, i'm glad i got rid of the money pit


so yes, the analogy works..
Rummy is like a rusted , non original, saggy Targa that'll cost more to restore then it'll ever be worth even to the biggest optimist out there...

Actually the analogy was between an old 911 and a war. Yes, a war costs much more than than one would ever imagine...especially in this era where politically we cannot have collateral damage or loss of troops like in past wars where they were simply cannon fodder.
Just like restoring an old 911....A war is often well worth the price once completed....but if you walk away in the middle of the job....you will have wasted a lot of money and effort and the results are likely worse than if you had never attempted the task. That is why, once undertaken, one must ignore the whining of the wife (in the case of the 911) or liberals (in the case of the war) until the manly work is done
