As some of you aleady know my veins flow 30W oil and I used to race cars (not drag racing or roundy-round but real racing
). However, in the last 5 yrs I've toned down my cars and my spendings on such things. I gave up racing after the DD was born. We drive decent, newer cars but nothing exotic and they're all paid for. However, lately DW has been hanging out with people at her work that drive fancy cars and sport fat rocks so she's been wanting a nice sporty car. The other day, she mentioned she wants an EVO MR...which is practically a race bred street car. All of a sudden the 2004 accord we bought brand new doesn't cut it for her
afterall her friends are sporting brand new BMW 5 series and Inifiniti G20s etc...
I've been nicely trying to convince her that we're better off with what we already have but I feel uncomfortable pushing too much since I don't want her to feel I'm stopping her from something she really wants...which usually makes you want something even more and introduces negative feelings. Deep inside, I want a nice fast and fun car too but realistically I'd rather save that would be $40k and put it towards our daughter's and our future.
