Glad you got the car!
I'm also 26 and had a similar experience with pretty much the same result... the naysayers all want rides now and tell me its awesome. Mom still thinks it's "too fast" but she gets a bit wild herself when driving my dad's Z4 so...
I couldn't be happier... getting up for work every day sucks a bit less because I know I get to drive
Not sure where you are in BC, but maybe we will see eachother out there some time. Happy driving!
