As those who know me are aware, last summer I bought a 1997 BMW 540I Sport. Thus far, I haven't sold my old SVT Contour. The other week, I was doing a little cleanup on the SVT to prep it for sale, and I took it for a spin, just to scrub the rotors a little , and I started having these thoughts.....thoughts of selling the BMW and fixing up the SVT to bring it back on the road.
She has a bit of rust on the door bottoms and trunk lid, and she could stand some other parts as well, but despite the fact that the SVT is slower -- much slower -- than the BMW, and, believe it or not, gets worse highway gas mileage than the Bimmer, I felt myself gravitating towards it again. It feels so immediate compared to the big 540.
So, back to my title question: am I insane for thinking like this?
