Question for the "regular" folk :)

[Zedder]

For those of you who are at the stage of life where buying your dream home and paying for your kid's education are still facing you, do you ever think about getting out of the rare stuff and just buying a nice "driver" crate motored-type cruise night car? With prices for the rare stuff where they are, I'm struggling more and more with justifying a "car fund" that's worth 50% of the value of my home when we still have a number of financial issues to face before we are on "easy street"

I'd be interested in hearing the opinions of others at my stage of life...
