Wait...I’m quite sure I never said such a thing as “I don’t like fun everyday cars.” I actually find many different types of cars interesting.

I work in the aerospace industry. At my building, there are 2 or 3 interesting cars in the lot on any given day, in a sea of Corollas, Civics and Priuses.

It’s fine to want an appliance if you’re not interested in fun cars.

Used Mustang GT?

I love how naughty those Abarths sound. Always a treat to see one on the road. Nobody ever regrets buying an Abarth 500.

Hubba hubba! That’s hardcore.

Keep up the good work and the wheels will come. It will be worth it!

To be fair, a lot of people hate driving. A Camry is just about the most affordable and hassle-free way to isolate yourself from the road. That’s why it sells so well.

This happens every time cars come up as a conversation topic at my workplace. Go ahead and drive a 7-seater MPV after having your first child, but don’t whine about it to me. One child fits just fine in a WRX, Focus ST or any of countless other fun cars.

The last Firebird was particularly good-looking. A more successful design than the Camaro version.

More importantly, your wife genuinely wants you to be happy by pursuing your interests within financial reason. An important duty of any spouse that can still be very obviously lacking from what people around me let on.

I only talk cars to people who are interested in cars, or are curious about mine.

Most cars can be brought into gear without throttle application—on a flat surface, of course. After teaching myself, I taught my wife to do it with all 1.6 liters of Ford Escort.

Do you homework and see if the Alfas are trending upward. If it’s a bucket list car, and you can budget it in, don’t wait.

Modern society breeds test-takers who grow up to be insecure yes-men. This is especially true in the Science and Engineering fields where I work. Many people do not have the self-esteem to buy something nice for themselves, even though they make tons of money. They feel like a toy needs to be economically or otherwise…

Many think China’s central government is too strong.

Used exotic cars are not for the “I want a Lambo, bro” crowd. These guys are not interested in the ownership experience; they just want the flash and the attention.

Clever. I’m sure she would appreciate that.

It won’t, as long as it scratches your itch and you budget for its potential problems.

An exotic will require costly yearly maintenance. Roll the dice, and you can get burnt if there is any deferred work.
