I've had sports cars on and off all my car-owning life, went through a personal financial crisis some years back and drove beaters while recovering and getting three kids through college and was just rolling along and driving "decent but not fun" cars. Then we got a phone call that a long-time friend was in the emergency room. We went to see her and knew she was never going to come out alive.
At age 74, I felt that it was time to finally again have a car I could enjoy. Bought a pristine 2000 S with very low miles. That was three years ago and, living near Chicago, need to store it Nov - April. Just got it out two weeks ago and am enjoying every moment - driving it, washing it, gazing at it.
Yes, I've been acccused of having a mid-life crisis but I just laugh and say something about enjoying my golden years with a grin, knowing that those who don't have the guts to enjoy themselves deserve to drive what they drive. The wife, who isn't a car person, asks to put the top down!
Hope to keep driving it for a long time and don't give a darn what anyone else says.
Good luck with your decision
