69
My vehicular interests, since my mid-twenties, have been: 1 flying aerobatics, 2. running the twisties on my bike(s), and 3. running the twisties in my car. Getting older has made no difference to my interests.
I bought the car for the couple days a month I get out to my favorite local road and my annual trip to the best roads in Northern California. Other than that, I get nothing from the M240i for daily driving that I didn’t get from my previous Altima and Accord. The ’01 Z06 was needing more and more maintenance, and contracting down to one car would make my life easier. The M240i seemed like the best compromise out there.
My retirement funds turned out a lot better than I expected and I had another 100k for probably the final upgrading of my toys. A monoplane won out over a 911 (not going to say what I replaced the Pitts with because any pilot could figure out my identity). The last upgrade will be replacing the CBR with a KTM 790 Duke (The Scalpel) when it finally arrives here.
