While not the same car, I feel the same about my 986 Boxster S. Since taking it to track, driving on the street is not so fun or as exciting as it can be. It's fine to drive out to meet up with friends, grab a coffee, dinner, go for a short cruise, but to really wring it out, it needs to be on the track.

Any how, I've moved on to a variety of cars over the years and have had a great opportunity to enjoy the all. The only car I regret selling or miss is my old 996 C2, but it also got me to where I am today. Sometimes I miss my Alfa Romeo but this is part of being a masochist (I'm dying to meet Badhobz's wife.) Joking aside, life's priorities have changed and while I don't have kids (yet) I still want to have some fun cars. I certainly miss my E30 325i and my E36 M3 and sometimes my MR2s, but I'm not lusting after them by any means to bring back any memories or nostalgia. COVID, Initial D, and Nostalgia tax is real.

My wife and I have recently enjoyed doing road trips but came to realize the Corolla iM is not the most comfortable car to drive 4+ hours so we've been thinking of picking up a larger sedan like an A4 Allroad, Lexus ES or LS, Porsche Panamera, or dare I even say it, Toyota Avalon or Crown. Oddball car options, but financials, mortgages, age, and careers have higher priority. I'm also going back to school while working next year, so that makes a huge difference.
