I always car shop, I think we all do here, but as soon as you feel like you might actually get one of them then it’s a different story. I can’t stop researching my list of options. I’ve gone through buying sites to see prices...often. I’ve compared true costs to own, anecdotal evidence on forums, winter wheel and tire prices, and many many more variables. As you may have known, I’ve sat in a bunch of them (not driven yet). I’M 8-9 MONTHS OUT. I’m going to go crazy. Scratch that, crazier. But, silver lining is this is going to be the most well thought out decision of my life haha
Here’s the ultimate level of my nerdiness: I’m writing a freaking research paper just to get all my thoughts down. It has a title, headings, charts, and is currently 7 pages (not well formatted). I think it’s aptly titled, “The Ridiculously Overthought Search For The Happiness Money Buys”.
Help.

Buy your something that is the size of a single car payment. Like a camera. Scratch that itch. Or go drive karts.

Good advice! Unfortunately not for this situation. I have a cool FL road trip planned through Turo with a manual C7. I have go karts planned for either next weekend or the one after. I’m spending equal to my current payment all too often but really I’m saving enough beforehand so it’s not the money that’s the problem. It’s mostly the constant rabbit holes I go down in my thoughts when they have no real culmination for a long time.

Yep I do this too. I’ve spent hours a week for almost 2 years, researching a replacement DD.
It will probably be another 2 years before I ever get one.

I always commiserate with your unnecessary shopping threads.
