Live long enough, and you'll find that about the only thing that makes you TRULY happy is helping other people.

I would personally not be truly happy helping others if I didn't have my own relationships and goals being satisfied first. That's not selfish.

Why wouldn't a person drive a car that makes them happy vs a car that they don't want? clearly OP wants another 86.

Not only that but all people are basing their comments on are the one side of the story. The friends and relatives know the dude and may have perfectly valid reasons for trying to talk him out of the car. We just know what he says and god knows that he could be a tad biased with his version of events.

When people give advice about something (anything, not just cars), they are projecting their personal views, their own perspective, no one is exempt from doing this. It's just natural for someone to say "why do you need that?" because they feel they don't need it themselves.
But at the end of the day, if you want to do something and it's feasible, why not do it? Most people who ever followed their passions probably did so having to ignore a naysayer or two
