I'm not rich enough. Simple.
Why would I want both, anyway? I don't have room to store both, and they are so close in fun factor that there is no condition that would favor one over the other.

This thing is superb in the twisties, much better suspension than the Yaris, and just plain fun. No regrets.

Guess I made some assumptions that after 6+ years you would have had the Yaris paid off and then it would just be maintenance, insurance, etc. Didn't honestly think that "richness" would be a factor although I am stunned how much vehicles are holding their supposed value anyway these days. Personally even though I love my Yaris you wouldn't catch me paying what the book value is on a 2007 still 6 + years later. I was pretty floored when my dad paid over $25k for a 2008 Acadia this passed summer. I could think of plenty of reasons to have both, but that is just me.

I just would have thought some lowering springs or even coilover would be cheaper than a new car..? I guess you're rich enough for more car payments..

Yeah - but I've been lusting after the Fiat for years now. I guess if I can't have a new girlfriend, I'll just have the new car. It's amazing how much happier the wife is with that. :evil grin:
