Something followed me home this weekend.

[Indy]

 

Was supposed to go look at a different one Saturday.  The other one was further away and had a rebuilt title (roof was damaged by previous owner, easy to do if you forget something is in the trunk).  But combination of storms Saturday morning and kids not wanting to go prevented it.  So Saturday afternoon, wife was on the computer and yelled at me to get ready let's go, dealership close by just listed it.  Really, it wasn't listed that morning.  They had just got it in, hadn't cleaned it (things was still pretty much spotless).  All the service records were in the glove box, not a single oil change missing, dang the previous owner was maintenance anal.

 

They had it priced good already, but told the sales guy we would go home and think about it, he dropped the price to a point we couldn't say no.  Year newer than the other, clear title, same price.

 

And the wife, who said she wouldn't ride in convertible, spent rest of the weekend saying, "let's take the convertible."

 

And it's all @Square Wheels fault, he put the idea of a hard top convertible in my head and I wanted to be cool like him.  Just with Japanese reliability versus German maintenance.

And wife also likes to make sure everyone knows it's my midlife crisis car.

I am not arguing with that either.

It’s generally cheaper to have a midlife crisis bike.

There will be more.  A mid wife crisis seems to happen more than once.

...or several! Probably can fill two garages with new bikes for the price of SW's car. Not sure what Indy paid for his, but he at least seemed to try to keep costs reasonable - so likely just one garage filled with bikes worth.

Used to be, yes.  Anymore though, high end bikes cost more than what I paid for the car, after I sell the Mazda it's replacing, I'd be struggling to buy a decent full suspension MTB.

HoDo2 has a G35. That car scoots pretty good.

Thought about, but then we realized we are to old and not limber enough, so couldn't figure out the logistics of how to do anything.  So we went to Dairy Queen instead.

With selling the Mazda, I'm under 10k.  And I've become such a tightwad, that freaked me out.

Congrats!  Looks fun!

Better get a brake controller, 10 ply tires, WDH, and airbags.

Over 300 horse, so it's got the power.  Though probably also need to get the transmission rebuilt to handle the extra load.
