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?
ohhh man at least im not alone in this feeling anymore,i feel the exact same way as you (issues) but every time my logic gets to my head i fight back by thinking (sall you just have to be more organized in your finances from now on)
