My car. I bought a luxury car back when I was in grad school and it cost me a year's salary used. I would tell anyone else not to do that, but over the years I have had so much fun driving that car. It's a 2008 BMW 328i with a manual transmission and sports suspension (which makes it rather uncomfortable, but it corners so well). It has been breaking down a lot recently and I'll probably have to get rid of it soon, which I'm not happy about. They don't make cars like that anymore and even if they did, I can't reasonably justify buying such an impractical car at this stage of my life. Maybe I'll make another irresponsible purchase anyway...
