I’m seriously just browsing for the sake of browsing. I’ve got the “itch.” I somehow did an hour’s worth of research on the facelifted SC 430. What!?!? I don’t even like convertibles! Hardtops even less so. Also, that’s even more expensive than any of the 2UZ big bois, and — AND!!! — it certainly doesn’t solve the camping conundrum.
I’m turning into an old man at the ripe (or perhaps over-ripe) age of 31. This is what happens when I take time off. All my unused stress goes to creating false realities — like me in a freaking convertible.

I test drove one and found the experience uncomfortable. Like sitting in a padded bathtub.

Those are expensive. You should probably just buy this MR2 instead:
2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder - manual transmission / low miles $5500
Just kidding! You are an adult, fully fund your Roth IRA instead!

Fantasy car shopping is best car shopping. I have this paranoia that my wrx won't hold three kids in the back, so I've been eyeing v10 s8 Audis. Maintenance intensive, but with how few miles I drive it's irrelevant.

The seating was nice , but the overall feel was kinda weird to me.. the windows felt too high up relative to seating position. much compliment on interior color choice.

Yeah she does have a high beltline. Not quite CTS-Coupe status, but it definitely ain’t no NA Miata.

I wonder if I should have bought one two years ago. They're starting to creep up in price, soon they'll all be on BaT for the Miata-contrarians.

My short commute is why I’ve been going in all these crazy directions. Gas hog Land Cruiser? Who cares. A convertible that is absolutely useless? Meh! Another beater Tercel? Wait, no. I actually need to *get* to work to make money...

You’re surprised that your wife basically called you out for being an Oppo? I mean looking for terrible ideas is what we all do here , right?

I quite often go on CL thinking “if my car got wrecked today what would I replace it with?”
Yesterday the answer was a 2012 manual Challenge R/T. A car I wouldn’t normally be interested in but I just happened to find a nice one with cool wheels and a mild drop that looked slick

I spent at least an hour yesterday learning about the current gen 4Runner option packages to ensure that I had a capable off-road vehicle for regular off-road excursions that I would only take if I dramatically changed my work and hobbies.
It’s possible, but very, very unlikely that this would happen, and I still have a blast driving my GTI, so this was quite a waste of time, even though I enjoyed it .
Yes, we are Oppo.
(B ut I can take solace in the fact that you seem to have the sickness worse than I do. )

My old boss, who found redeeming qualities in almost every car, said he test drove one and hated it.
But wasting time dreaming/researching about cars is one thing I can’t fault you for. And having a wife who doesn’t get it is the most relatable thing ever.

I have been looking at this car for the last 3 months, priced about 2-4k under market value. I should just go buy it.

That glorious interior picture has me contemplating how I could fit one of those into my life.

Find a CPO E Class wagon or a CPO Model S. They come with optional rear facing seats in the trunk.
I wish my dad had one of those when I was a kid lol

I’ve been looking at Ferrari FF’s lately. No way I could afford one without both increasing my pay and decreasing my expenses. And possibly selling the 348. BUT, I like dreaming about that lifestyle. Rolling up to Napa with 3 friends in my glorious
V12 hot hatch. lol
