TTBear, I thought you were on vacation!
So, you're reading Bimmerpost huh? Well, in that case, I need to send you a PM.
You know what I have to say about this:
Your dissertation was funny. I wonder if my husband ended up encouraging me for the same reason, so that I would stop taking about the M3!
I went through a similar thought process on the M... (although we're not talking about the same level of money!
)
You've worked hard (you are still working hard!), you've been waiting for this, you've been prudent, you are financially comfortable, your other financial objectives are not suffering, etc. Basically, low risk situation.
But life is unpredictable, as is our health. Cars are our passion, we've been this way since we were little kids. We get a big grin every second we're behind a fabulous driving machine, even when we're stuck in traffic, lol. (Which finally made me say, "Oh f*ck it. It's time for my first M car!")
Oh, and I'll be waiting for the report on your first impressions! Don't be tardy!
