And if they don't, you paid for it, it was your car, and you can do what you want lol. Keep it up.

I, like you, buy things or sell things when it suits me. So I bought an F12 in August. My first super car. I don’t care if it was conventionally the ‘wrong time’. I did the maths about where the world is now and decided I could afford it. Job done.
