I'm really on the fence about something.
I have Mk6 gti with 60k and runs well. It is paid off. I like it, it's lowered and looks subtle and great but want something more exciting.
Eyeballing a very nice B6 S4 with new timing chain and tensioners, coil overs, etc. It's clean and nice 110k. But half of me feels going back to a heavy V8 right now is weird and not exciting except when starting it up. Feels 10 years past it's prime.
So then I think getting a low mileage Mini JCW 2013 0r even a GP. But then I think, well isn't that basically the same car I'm driving now 95% of the time?
Then I consider a new car like a near new Type R but that seems a bit much of a commitment especially when 5 years from now I will probably want something electric.
Then I think, well let just throw in the whole hog and get a M2 but I can't justify that kind of expense when it could be going into savings.
Feels like a low point for budget minded enthusiasts these days.
