I was pretty depressed last night, couldn't even write about it. Really bummed out. Better perspective today. Rested up, and checked out insurance policy.
I bought the car to DRIVE IT. If driving it increases the risks of harming it, so be it. That is what insurance is for. I really love the Touring, it is a very unique car and alway attracts a lot of attention from everyone, old, young, male, female, enthusiasts, non-enthusiasts, even the occasional jerk. But the pluses of driving it far outweigh the negatives. I don't think I will build a glass case for it and put it in the living room. Think of the guys that race priceless cars at the Historics. Granted, they have a lot more money, but they are having a blast.
I have access to an X3, my other 2002, and our Highlander, given a choice I always pick the Touring.
Appreciate everyones empathy, but today, I think I will live, yesterday was pretty depressing.
