i think you just get wiser as you get older.
i spent all my youth ragging cars around and spending all my money on them.
then went through throwing all my money at cossies,trying to go as fast as i could afford!
now realise its much less stress to own an m5!power,reliability,luxury.
still like the cossies,rs turbo's,evo's,imprezas and still like driving them-but probably wouldnt realistically own one for myself again.
