Make sense?
In a sorta twisted way, yes.

Reminds me of an old joke. Sadist and Masochist get married. On their honeymoon night the masochist turns to the sadist and whispers, “hurt me. Please.” Sadist smiles and whispers, “no.”

I get it, but for me, I've had enough of old cars.

One day in the summer of 2005 I'm driving home from work in the Jeep when the seat springs break and I suddenly sink into the seat. Went out the next day and bought the Dodge. I figured I had saved enough money driving a $1500 truck for over 5 years.

Well, let's say you're not really Batman, but Batman put it back to stock, and is giving you a really good deal because he has a gen2 coming in, which is WAY better. Then what?
