The "high consumable side of the tracks" isn't necessarily greener... I never complain about my car. My consumables are like a low buck Miata. Would I like to own a GT3? Sure! Would I necessarily have more FUN? NO! It's just different. I'd love to own them all...
The 86 car is an exceptional car in the way the Miata is. I'm convinced of that. If it's the kind of car that suits you, you might want to hang onto it. Who knows how many will be made...
