[QUOTE="HPLouis, post: 15867709, member: 5445"] Probably not. Years of dealing with BMWs just beat the car guy out of me. BMWs are fun to drive and are really nice looking cars but the maintenance was killing me and it really soured me towards cars. I was working on them myself and then got tired of it and it got more complex so now I had to pay someone. I got tired of that and then realized I was spending an average of $5K a year on those cars. Now, for some enthusiasts, $5K a year isn't much but when I look back at where most of my time and money went for the past 25 years, it was all cars (and one ex wife). It started to gnaw at me thinking about how much money I would have had if I didn't spend it on Mustangs and BMW's. I had spreadsheets and old credit card statements and I was just compiling information. I got to a point where I didn't even want to change my oil anymore (heck, I even paid to get spark plugs replaced on the Lexus) and that's when it was time for me to get out. I sold the BMW a few months ago (after dropping $4K on repairing a whole boatload of leaks all over the car and then seeing that the valvestems also needed replacing at another $3K), got me a boring Lexus and now I sold the Cobra and the extra money from that can go into my TSP (Federal Employee version of a 401K). I already paid off all my credit cards with the money from the sale and I've increase my TSP allotment. I want out the Federal Government as soon as I'm eligible and I want to retire comfortably.
