Makes me remember when I was that age, that stage of life. How I wanted so much to have a fancy car. How I could rationalize how and why it made sense.

Nowadays my brain tries to explain to me why a new DB11 makes sense. It makes some pretty good arguments.

A lot of good mature reasoning has been laid out in this thread. Reminds me of what Dad told me, what I tell my son.

I really enjoy our Z cars. But honestly the Civic Si is great fun to drive and I paid $22,000 off the show room floor. For most real life situations it's better than any Z.

And if we do get a new Z next year, our current cars will lose a lot of value. Being stuck with years of payments on an out of date model can be pretty awful. But how we learn.
