"Too Much Stuff"
My wife has been wishing for a sports car of various kinds since we were married 21 years ago. Due to the pleasant direction the stock market has taken in the last year we are able to deal with this, at least for a while.
My wife has been passing this used car lot for the past 6 month drooling over this Miata convertible which is kind of an odd metal flake teal color. I think this color had made it hard for the shop to sell. I sent them an email and said I would be willing to buy it for a reasonable figure. They have been asking $8995.00 which was BS for a 2003 M-5. It only has mileage of 45,000.00. The guy sent me a price of $6350.00, which is about what I was willing to pop for. The car is truly spotless. The top looks brand new. It has good tires, but it needs an alignment. The test drive was fine and there will be a new battery thrown in.
It will be nice to be able to drive with my wife and not have her comment about every little car we see. I'm at around 300lbs and there is not much room for my fat ass; so she is guaranteed that the car is hers, not mine.
It will be fun for her. At least she will have something she can call her own, which, up to now, she hasn't. The only thing I won't like is the extra $1200 a year in insurance it will cost. It is a cute little bugger. Here's a pic
