You've worked hard, you bought it, you take care of it, you appear to enjoy it. If it brings you pleasure, then you deserve it! Life is just too short!
I wonder.... If you spent the same amount of money on a big ring for her would she refuse to wear it and complain of its impracticality?

Keep driving and smiling.

Thanks! A week of real winter here this past week made things a little difficult. Then, finally, this morning, after five days of waiting impatiently for the roads and weather to clear, was able to break free of the stable and take it out at sunrise. It's a pretty therapeutic experience behind that wheel. Hopefully old man winter shows some mercy on my tortured soul. it is unfortunate that I think so highly of the driving experience. I find the slogan very fitting. There really is no substitute.

The "affair" continues. Just couldn't manage to get home after work, taking me over 2 hours to get home on an 8 minute drive. Really put the foot into it on a couple of empty S curves and got to know it's actual limits VERY clearly. Last time I had that much fun behind the wheel was driving my pretty fast go kart as a kid, and even that doesn't compare to the handling of this thing. Like I suspected it might, when the back end breaks free, it's really going to start sliding quick..but, very predictable and correctible I found, even after spinning it 180 degrees. Not planning any more of these kind of thrill rides in the future I think. I see why there's plenty of mashed up ones to get parts from. But, man, what a machine.
