WHY do I want one so bad?

[tomato]

To Tom: I don't know what to tell you, seems from your posts that you are really torturing yourself over this, but I will say this much in case it helps.

I traded in my old Honda CRX mostly because of fear (not that the manufactuer would go under, in my case it was mostly fear that she wouldn't SMOG, and that she would fall apart at the seams - I had to fix the front with duct tape to hold it together among other things)

I still have somewhat mixed feelings about trading in when I did, because I think the CRX could have gone a while longer while I was looking for the "perfect car" for me. It really was just fear that pushed me to close the deal quickly rather than waiting for the best opportunity to come along. I could probably have waited a few more months and gotten a different color or an updated model or even a different car (oooooh, I'm gonna get some nasty comments for this!! lol)

You know how it is, anyway. No matter what you get (whether its a car, or a jacket or whatever) there is always something better than comes along the minute after the money changes hands, it's like an unwritten rule or something (sigh).

Nobody can tell you what to do. Nobody knows what the future holds, or what's going to happen to GM, or whatever.

Personally, I believe there is always another deal and another opportunity and it's not the end of the world if you wait a while. But I'm not in your place. Also, you have to consider your wife's feelings in that regard. Does she want to spend the money? or is she going to make your life hell for a while if you buy the Yaris, lol?

Good luck and let us know what you decide! If you buy the Yaris, we're gonna want pictures!! :)

PS. Note to self, dump GM stocks. JK
