I know, that's what makes it hard. I've been a huge car guy all my life. There are pictures of me wiping down my dad's racecar when I was, 6 maybe?

But I also like all the spare cash vs when I had a track car and two different daily drivers. It allows me to do random stuff like, "Oh Jim Jefferies will be here this weekend, I'll get us tickets and make a reservation at a nice place."

IE, not a big deal to randomly drop $400-500 without needing to budget for it.

We don't have kids. So that's not a concern. I am thinking about trading our one car in on a new truck and getting a travel trailer, so we can be out of the house for big stretches and still work.
