That reminds me of my all-time favorite television dialog. Inspector Sledgehammer, his superior officer, and his female partner are discussing the whereabouts of a suspect:
Female partner: "He (the suspect) likes to visit massage parlors."
Inspector Sledgehammer: "There are over 100 of those in this city."
Female partner: "He just gets a massage."
Inspector Sledgehammer: "There are only 2 of those in this city."
. One of my favorite all time TV show. My dad is from the old country and he doesn't get comedy and even he likes Sledgehammer.
Even those of us who are frugal often have things that tickle our fancy. Purchases that otherwise defy logic and maybe even common sense are items or experiences that bring great, long-lasting sustainable or maybe even suspect happiness.
What’s your vice? It’s ok to brag even. And no, you don’t to justify it, at least to me. Lol
Choco Brownie Extreme Blizzards from DQ. What can I say? I'm a simple girl and those are my Krytonite.
I like cars, but am reasonably prudent regarding them. I have an amg mercedes that I owned for the past 13 years or so. Other than a bad transmission controller that cost me $2k to fix, never had any huge costly issues with it. I know of more people with regular cars that have had far worse and costly engine and transmission problems, despite my car being the more expensive to fix. For example, a friend's nissan frontier transmission died, which required a $5k+ replacement. Kinda want a new car, but kinda pointless too. Car still looks really good, and way faster than necessary to get me in a lot of trouble.
So yeah TLDR: waste money on cars, but not excessively.

I haven't gone since the covid thing started except one in the drive through. By the time I got home it was all cold so I stopped going. A choco taco sounds pretty good right now.

Maintenance might be a bit costly, but the prices are holding and even seem to be going up. It may not be as far fetched to buy after all.
I got the 430 because I wanted a more modern car, higher performance than the 360, and no belts to change.
I had a supercharged viper with nitrous, several porsche turbos, and a ferrari 308. I think the 430 is not the fastest, but a lot of fun to drive.

yeah. thats the exact reason i would pick a 430 over a 360. plus the 360 is gerting older and probably a lot more age related maintenance stuff cropping up.
