As I'm driving my rental 2021 Nissan Altima back from the office I realize that I don't need practical. My wife has a practical comfortable car that we take on most all runs or road trips. I have the truck to do truck things. It's delightful, cheap, and cheerful. It get's crap fuel economy, but what do I care. I drive it maybe once a week. So I don't need practical, and I don't need fuel economy because I'm not driving every day. Reliability is kinda the same. Especially if my cheap and cheerful vehicle is a Toyota truck. I'm not really worried about that one not running.
If I'm going to two cars, one of which being the truck, what does that leave me with? There really isn't anything I do with the wagon/vette that I couldn't do with something in between those two. The sensible answer would be mustang/camaro/370z. But those are alll common place. I could go further up the unreliable scale with something more exotic, but then being sensible with prices takes over. I like Elise's but they aren't worth $45k for a used one. I think a 996 would be the answer, but Porsche repair costs scare me and is it ten times better than a miata? Now I'm just thinking myself in a loop. Anything easily attainable is pase. Anything more exotic is ludicuos money or so exotic that it becomes maybe not a great idea to own as a 1 of 2. I'm starting to see how I ended up with the corvette.
Also - As soon as I receive the title (long story) the corvette will be for sale. $25k for those of GRM.
