    You know you can buy literally the cars you wanted as a teenager right?

    Staying on the BMW thread, you can get a mint E46 or E9X M3 for a fraction of the cost of the new ones. Just gotta find one where the owner has taken care of it and kept service records.

      Obviously, but the hope was to buy the car new one day. If I were to buy a used car, it’d be a different type of car entirely that I’d be buying - ie a viper or older NSX instead of a new STi. The e63 wagon is ugly AF and I wouldn’t trust any used E55. If we have another kid, I’m buying a minivan though and there isn’t anything my wife can do to stop me!
