My experience said to me there is a time in life for a roadster.

For me it was pre marriage (Alfa, Alfa, 914). And then once the kids were done with college and the finances were secure (986, 986S). In between it was utilitarian cars. Not chosen to please or impress.

I once calculated a mini-van had over 100k miles just in back and forth to college trips.

But the upside was the finances once the bills were paid. Now I can afford to buy any car I want and that makes sense or appeals at the time.

Did I miss the toys? Really when I was commuting to work and then directly home to relieve the primary caregiver, not much.

And when she saw me looking at the ads she said "Stop looking, just go buy one". I did.
