Decisions are based on Judgement. Judgement is based on Attitude + Knowledge. While Knowledge trumps Attitude we must remember that there is no ROI on our hobbies or leisure activities. In this crazy world today "enjoyment" is becoming priceless. Unless it's a trip with OceanGate.

Your situation reminds me of that old Harley Davidson commercial where the little kid asks his Grandpa if he ever owned a Harley....Grandpa's response was he could have, but he bought aluminum siding instead...L-O-L.

So tell us more about that special car?

Before you commit you should ask yourself is there anything else you could do with the money that would bring you as much enjoyment. Real Estate, Business Opportunity, etc.

That’s just it Lee, I always enjoy and have enjoyed those segments as well. the justification of an investment vs non is where I get wrapped around the axle.

I will share a bit more about the vehicle in a bit. Hint, it’s a truck, which I have found myself more into the last several years!

I have the same dilemma. Looked at this car over 2 years ago. Thus far, my head continues to overrule my heart, so I don't own it. Being overpriced is not its only issue, and not what's holding me back. Still bugs me though
