So long story short, there was a 2002 330i in Vancouver that I was THISCLOSE to buying, but I couldn’t go through with the deal because it would’ve involved the redemption of a portion of my mutual funds. While I’ve always wanted the care, the mature person in me (that annoying little twat!) chimed in and said that it wouldn’t be a wise idea to throw away a good investment for a car. Essentially, I would’ve traded an appreciating asset for a depreciating one. Combine that with the fact that I run a pretty low margin cash account due to savings, and it could’ve been disastrous without some lifestyle changess. There isn’t a whole lot of other car news aside from the BMW ConCours D’Elegance next month in Renton. I’ll be attending once again and anyone else is welcome to tag alone!
I’m glad that I stuck with my maxima for now. The majority of my investments are in oil, and it was nice to see oil go up for $4 a barrel yesterday and over $10 a barrel today! The price of gas SUCKS, but I’m more than happy to see my RRSPs go up :-).
I’m hungry and I have a craving for pho.
