The automatic is plenty fun, especially with the paddle shifters. I bought the base and got a beautiful aftermarket leather interior---didn't need any of the other Touring benefits. Go for it---you're about to have one of the most thrilling experiences of your life.
Now that's what I want to hear.

I'm 54.

I own my own business.

I own my house (no more payments!!!)

I have saved all of my life for my retirement, and it's gotten me squat.

I have cash saved up to buy this car if I decide to do that.

I should just go out and do it. I might be dead this time next year and never get a chance to spend any of the money I've saved.

The real question: Can I ever go out in that beautiful car like I do my Buick, without doing my hair or putting on makeup, in my sweatpants? I think you lose your invisibility with a car like this -- especially in a rural Minnesota town where about all you see are trucks and SUVs.

But I'm ready to feel alive and have some fun again. Thanks for the encouragement, OldGuy.
