I think I could say so. I love cars, so I dream of tons of different cars. Some I might be able to someday afford, and some I know I'll likely never be able to afford.

My thoughts though, were never make a payment on a car I wouldn't enjoy driving. So, the last two cars I've purchased have been very enjoyable for what they are. They're not exotics, nor overly expensive, but they drive competently, and can even have moderate fun in the twisties without going hypersonic speeds...When I have some more $$, I'll hopefully be able to restore my old car, and use it as a fun weekend car...when all the kids are out of the house, maybe i can finally stop having a 4 door sedan and will graduate back to a coupe...and hopefully by then, i'll have enough $$ that it'll have a porsche badge on the front, and the engine will be in the back. But we'll see!

I want all the cars I own, but my problem is I want more cars than I currently have room for!

My wife has decided one of 'our' cars is now her car so I can now sell, 'her' car and replace it with something else. My wifes exact words when questioned? "Oh I don't care, get whatever you want!".

YES!

Money is not the issue. There just isn't anything out there that moves me.

You know, that visceral reaction you ge from something truly awesome?

Nope..came very close though I wanted a Pontiac G8 GXP, had to settle for a G6 GXP instead (don't get me wrong great powerful car) but the G8 GXP is in a world of it's own with the Charger/300 SRT of course. Next when I finally get a new car I'm pondering a lot of cars now. For me money was the issue the G8 was expensive and because it had the GXP badge the insurance was going to be expensive I was under 25 and also the gas mileage would be horrible (V8). Like I said I'm pondering cars now I have a list of 20 cars I might want next, I have two years to see what would work for me.

The G8 GXP has pretty much the exact same engine as the current Camaro SS, they put out an impressive 415 HP from a 6.2 V8 and were rated at 15city/24highway.

If you couldn't afford the G8 GXP, why no go for the G8 GT? Cheaper, still has a 363HP 6.0 V8. Or get a 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO, 6.0 V8 with 400HP, or a 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am, came with 350HP and a 5.7 V8, very affordable cars, get about 18city/29higway.

going for the G6 GXP is a big step down, those cars are extremely weak, ultimate poser car in my opinion.

Do I own the car I want ?

Nope, not by a long shot. The car(s) I want come from this small manufacturer in Italy called Pagani.

With the very fancy leaf shaped mirrors stuck way out on the fenders, nice!
