I'm Back! And I'm Sharing My Thoughts on Turning 30!!!!

First of let me say hi. I know it's been nearly 18 months since I last posted, but I just thought I'd get back into it. Anyways this post is not a melodramatic, "oh shit I'm 30" kinda thing on age, just a bit of a way I've had to realise that we all sometimes need a wake up call and have to admit (yeah more of a confession) that I need to get on with life and this brings me back to my blog. Since I've always written about cars, that's what I'm talking about when I think about my age. Last year, me and the Mrs bought a Mazda RX8. Now it's no supercar, but as a 2+2 coupe, with a great (but complex) engine, it puts a smile on my face everything it beeps to remind me I've hit the redline (yes it beeps when your about to max out the gear)! This car wasn't bought as an impulse and nor was it bought to show off. Actually it was the Mrs who found it (after I showed her how much of a bargain these cars are!) unfortunately I don't drive it everyday, as current fuel prices dictate our wallets and we're unable to enjoy driving nice cars far distances, I drive the boring car to work these days. Anyways that's besides the point, I only mentioned that as the back ground to what I'm talking about. The fact is as sad as it sounds, I'm currently at a cross roads when having to purchase a new car. The underlying question is do I get a sensible car and "act my age" now that I'm 30 or do I get a car based on irrational reasons and be a 30 year old acting like a single 20 year old without responsibilities? The answer is quite simple after thinking about it and writing the post; Get both. The sensible car and the weekend, unpractical fun car. Meanwhile the wife also drives a fun car, along with a few tweaks alongside the way...
