Rhong, I am so far a successful person at my age (27) in terms of my job, money, family, friends and health. I just reward myself for my hardwork and achievements. Soarer is a sense of reward to me at the moment. I am sure you will reward yourself as well and it does not have to be a soarer. I respect that you know what you need to do. Anyway, Don is right. Thanks for the nice organised posts. wish you the best all the way in future.
Don: Always a pleasure, in this day and age I think too many people do not practise or exhibit the simple gesture of courtesy, etiquette, chivalry and manners. My views is I as a person would like to hold on to some values which these days seem to be diminishing at an exponential rate. Thanks for your kind words. Although myself I am not born in Australia, I do treat and would like to be called an Australian. As we all are, I have lived under commonwealth ruling all my life and one of the few great things I'd like to keep as a person is the ideology which the monarchs seem to portray, one of the few things I can think off the top off is chivalry and stewardship.
Khan: That's great news mate. It is always good to hear someone who is doing well. I myself personally have been making provisions since year 10, and if it were not for my ability to proceed in such discipline manner I would not have gotten this far. My priority right now is mainly to give myself the option to retire at an early age, and doing so without compromising my lifestyle (can be done, its a matter of discipline). Personally I have decided to indulge in a soarer, but to me it is merely an indulgence. Truthfully it isn't really an itch I need to scratch, but I have chosen to test the waters (in looking to purchase a soarer) because I can do it, not because my parameters to test the waters is limited (e.g. that's all I have and it has to stick with it, I want it, I must have it, I can't afford it but I'll get it anyway, I want it for this price, sell it to me because you have to, etc). But everyone will feel differently about this, react differently and so forth, and that is fine because it is their prerogative which they can behave and conduct themselves in any manner they see fit (the beauty about free speech providing it does not impend on ones' rights and it is not unconstitutional).
Peter: Excellent point Peter. You have mentioned a point which purely is a derivation from experience itself. You are correct in the fact of cold hard value, no arguments about that statement being a fact, but that point to me has to be taken into context on the objective of the task at hand. I don't know if I will purchase a soarer just yet, but I will keep looking for a soarer and keep participating as long as the community welcomes me.
Again, I'd like to thank your guidance, patient, and the opportunity for me to be part of the great cohesion this community has.

Rhong,Just get a soarer,you won't regret it even if it cost you.I have owned my car for just over a year and the only problems I have had is blinky dash,flat battery,powerstering pump O ring and a leak in the rack and pinion due too something stupid(soarer's don't like gutters) over all you will not find another car that matches it,No australian car even this years model commadore or ford can match the overal package IE:comfort,sporty,reliability the list goe's on so what I'm saying is you get a big bang for your buck!
Jeff: That is a fairly full bodies and strong statement. The point itself is drawing a conclusion that over the period of ~5-~15 years (depending on model of soarer), the changes in technology or the standards in a car has not improve?
Although I can see from a capitalist point of view (reduce cost ad-infinum), surely there must be improvements when the comparison is of equal parameters?
However I will definitely take your point into consideration. No matter how contradictory and how hypocritical this post makes me, I'm of agreement with you on your points (dunno if it is bias, but I'm definitely agreeing with you). Guess the saying still applies, caveat emptor (buyer beware).
