Carpe Diem

Yep, this exactly. Carpe Diem. Instant Gratification. 100% EMOTION Based Impulse Buy.

My xB runs fine, and I don't necessarily NEED another car. It's just all the rave reviews, the ecstatic youtube demos, the frenzy of the forums-- it just made me want it even more. I wanted the high that other people were experiencing in their FR-S'es.

I kept trying to talk myself outta it. "Jared, it's not the best time to buy right now...finances...just wait..."

MY LOGIC: It kicks in and tells me to be patient and wait for a BRZ-L to arrive (dat interior!). It reminds me that 2014 will possibly have bigger and better. It chastises me that these things will saturate LA/OC within the next two years. "Just wait," Logic insists.

BUT MY EMOTION: It tells me to go have fun NOW. To go out and seize that HOT LAVA color I fell in love with. That I was lucky enough to put a deposit on. To enjoy the Car in this moment, while I have the chance. Emotion growls, "Go ahead. CARPE DIEM. I dare ya."

Sorry guys, I just had to get that off my chest. So let's hear it, for those that are impulse buying as well, what moved you to take the plunge?
