My car is covered in dust. She's not getting driven like she used to. It's a damn shame.

Default welcome to my club. I only use it on the weekends, if that.

While I drive the Jetta around. I may as well get used to it.

So this is what leasing a car is going to be like.

Default i never really got the point of leasing a car...

unless you switch cars every other year, and have no intention of modding or caring for it.

Default precisely. I am tired of modding cars. This was my first and last mod job.

I sank way more money into it than I thought I'd do. Secondly, had I saved the money, I could have pretty much bought a 996 C2. I don't think people realize how much cash is thrown into their cars. I certainly didn't.

Second, I want a car that I don't HAVE to modify. You can argue that I could've left well enough alone. Yeah right.

Plus, since I have my own business, I can deduct that thing on my taxes. A bonus.

Finally, it seems I am turning over my cars much more frequently than I used to. The Jetta is the last of the long-term cars (5+ years). Also, I'm probably going to stay at the level of posessing $50-$90K cars for life I'd say, unless I hit the lottery. In that case you guys won't hear from me again. :-)

I think I realized that I just want to have fun in the car, I don't want to spend my time wrenching it (not that I do that much anyway).

Default For me wrenching is half the fun! But if I didn't think so, I'd definitely go your route...maybe

not a C2 though.
