Whether you die with a 10 year old Civic and a deposit box full of corporate bonds or in the back of a limo with a blond on one arm and a brunett on the other, you’re still dead!

As long as your basic needs are taken care of and you have some security, live a little! If I stumble into some money I will.

By the way, guys, I think the OP has long since left the building.

I have not!

I am mulling. Right now I am sticking CIVIC, but eyeing a move to living a little maybe next year. Of course I could be hit by a bus between now and then, but my margin for error is a little to small this go round.

Sorry. We got so far off track…

My suggestion? Stick with the Civic. Someday in he future when yuou have the budget to really enjoyy a fancy car, THEN get one. Fancy cars should ont be bought on a budget.
