I'll face it, buying a sports car for pleasure (even when financial times were good) was a bad idea. Life throws anything at you and you have to be prepared. Now that the car is gone I plan on saving that monthly payment and living below my means in case I have to deal with a similar situation in the future.
Sorry to hear your story. At least you learned the financial lesson with a minimal loss. These cars are just a luxury at the end of the day so don't be too broke up about it. Check out Mr.moneymustache (Google it) and get off this site for a while.
