Meh'

I would only buy an older/cheaper M3.

Then I could drive it hard all day every day, and not feel bad.
If something breaks, fix it myself, and keep going.
Get my fill of the car. Really enjoy it and not feel like I have to preserve something that's 'nice'.

It's my one regret with getting nicer cars.
I feel like I have to take care/preserve it - and it just ends up being boring.
TBH, I feel like picking up an s2000 and tubo kitting it, or an elise and turbo/sc kitting it.
And then I can have guilt free fun with something that's cheap and worry free.

But I won't...
I told myself I have to look at something like this for my next purchase :
