2 car setup totaling 150k (997 or 991.1 porsche + 20k civic) can be cheaper to run over 3-5 years than just having one 100k car (g80 m3) to use every day and rack up miles.
plus when you sell that m3 you can't get top dollar on private party, you're forced to trade in and get shafted by the dealer. dealer just offered me 50k on my 21 m2 comp 2 months ago, i made a post on m2 forums and a guy said 60k was a pipe dream.... i just sold it for 60 private party yesterday. and i dont need to rush into another car because, yup i can drive my civic and bide my time waiting for the next perfect deal to pop up.

I am trying to avoid the financial aspect because you only live once, for me it's really about what will bring me the most enjoyment and I fear I won't enjoy the special car much as happened with my 300zx back in the day
side question: why did you sell the M2C? I really liked mine
