Hello everyone.

Imagine this, you are 26 years old and got a really nice car that you tunned up to your style etc, it's used on your daily drive and does that in a perfect way! I mean low consumption, no problems at all, fast.

Anyway as we all know the human being even having "perfection" isn't happy. And that is my case. If you had the money and you could buy one of your dream cars that you allways wanted and have been fighting a lot to have would you buy it? The question isnt so simple because i would have to sell my daily car to purchase it and this dream car isnt ment for daily driving. By this i mean that i would have to keep it in garage a lot more and walk much more lol somedays in the rain etc.. Not big distances but is still a bit bad :rofl:

Might look kinda stupid but is the difference between having a car that you can use all day long but doesnt put you a smile in your face anymore and even if you keep spending money on it you will keep thinking in the other car that i could have bought. Other problem is that with getting older probably im some years not long will get married and if i dont buy this car until that time it will be very hard since is a 2 seats sport car. I mean i could buy it when i have 40+ but wouldnt be the same..


So should i be crazy and buy it? Or just be an ordinary person that let is dream go away?


This is probably something that only i can answer but would like to hear some opinions to get some reason and less dreaming B)


Thank you :hug:

A car is meant to be driven. Unless you can afford to collect cars, buy the car you want and drive it. The only reason not to drive it is due to weather conditions or your destination....bad city or what not.

^. exactly. If you can afford the car id say go for it. If your city isn;t bad for thefts, id DD it and just be caution about where you park to avoid door dings and parking accidents. I usually park the furthest spot and in the corner and hug the curb. i dont mine the extra 1 min walk.. Or just get 2 cars. a old beater thats cheap on insurance. any doubts take the beater.

thats why I bought 2 cars, 1 fast n fun to drive(not daily). and my SUV daily driver I can haul/beat on

coulda had 1 pretty damn nice fast car such as a used gt-r or corvette. but I'd personally wouldn't want to daily either of those
