And I enjoyed flogging it's guts out. It turned into a lesson of not how fast I could go but how to conserve speed in the bends. Man i enjoyed driving that!! And that's the point. The driving part, not what I'm/you're driving. Along with others here I am suggesting getting something that you don't have to borrow for and enjoy driving what ever it is you buy. I appreciate that there are other factors to consider (price,fun factor, enjoyment,status ) but borrowing money for a depreciating asset is not good financial sense unless you are comfortable with the loss.
Story over. Will I get published?

Agreed, I've had mostly commodores but probably the most fun car I had was a 80's Astra. I used to totaly thrash that, I'm surprised it didn't blow up... And if it did it would have been no great loss. It had little power, didnt go fast but it was manual, revved hard and felt faster than it was.
