stroker said:Got a line on a potential Malaise/Radwood/Gastropod candidate. I intend for it to be used as a regular (mebbe not daily) driver. There is no Objective reason for me to have this car. It'll cost me money I shouldn't spend (and can barely afford) every month for insurance, registration, personal property taxes, etc. It saves me no money on gas mileage.
But I want it.
No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. That shouldn't matter to the debate. For $2K I can't get hurt too badly.
Arguments for/against?
Ok, so $2K is the buy-in, but what is a reasonable estimate of how much you will invest in it to make it the car you want? If it's less than another $2K more then my advice would be that it's probably an ok idea. If it's many multiples of $2K then you should bludgeon that dream unmercifully until it finally dies. Probably. Unless it's super cool of course.
