If the latter, they will call me knowing that sportscars often don't sell well in the fall in the Midwest. Second, I talked with my wife about this at length. I have been through one divorce (my ex ran off with someone else and the gold digger taught me the meaning of Jerry Reed's song, She got the Goldmine..). It is better to win her over. I told her the decision was mine, stated my reasons, and she said okay. She asked me to wait my brother's "one month." I failed to mention two other concerns. This car would have to be my daily driver. Winters in Missouri are nothing compared to Maryland where I used to live. But, we might have 6 to 12 days in which I might have to drive to work in snow (I'm a teacher and we get some snow days off). Does this change the equation for anyone? This is a gamble somewhat, but now the choice is back to being mine. I hope to join the club in some 30 days...
