The only thing that annoys me so far about my new car is other people.

Quite a number of the few who even know what my car is have said, “For a little bit more you could’ve had a Corvette!”

Here’s the thing: I didn’t want a damn Corvette! If I did, I’d have one right now. Instead, I have pretty close to the performance of a Corvette with far more interior space (enough room for three adults in the back), a truly colossal trunk, and greater reliability.

Second, they have no idea how much I paid for my car. I drive a pretty hard bargain. I got mine for thousands less than a lot of other people pay for the same vehicle — which is pretty challenging to achieve in a rare color of a niche vehicle.

So yes, I certainly could have paid $15,000+ more for a car I didn’t even want.

Makes complete sense. Why didn’t I think of that?
