Overall the car was too heavy and way too nice for someone who likes to drive as much as I do. While I enjoy all the creature comforts they aren't a priority for me. I couldn't get over feeling bad about putting so many miles on an expensive new car.
My dream car would be close to 2500 lbs and about 500 WHP. So despite California telling me it's not allowed I'm opting to do an LS3 swap into a much lighter car.
I'm very happy to go back to buying tires, rotors and pads that are like 1/4 of the price. So I guess the short answer is I'm poor...

Poor I can understand.
Lighter, no backseat, etc, I can understand.
But selling a car at a loss because you drive it too much? That doesn't make sense.
2500lbs & 500WHP won't be a fun car on the street. Are you planning to have a beater commuter car and then the dream car is only for track use?
