I look at it like this:
You can spend $40,000 on a brand new car, and have something like this:
And lose your car in the parking lot every time you walk out of some place....
OR
You can spend $40,000 on an older car and have something that's getting more and more rare to see on the roads, and turns heads wherever it goes!!
Pick your poison. ;)
Sorry for the old thread bump, but that's my philosophy on cars...
