So, I started thinking what to replace it with and first I started thinking being more economical and started thinking about an S2K or finding another deal on an NSX, but then I went back to one of my first loves when I realized the R8 might be doable....so now I'm obsessed with that car as of right now and usually when I start obsessing about a car I figure out a way to get one.

I am hoping the R8 will cure my serial car shopping mentality for awhile if and when I finally see one in my garage...I could easily buy an R-tronic version for what I sold the 718 for right now, but I think I need to stretch my budget and just get the one I truly want in the low mile gem with a gated manual I recently looked at
