I've wanted an M2 since the day they've arrived. The M2C only upped that. At all the M school events I've done in the past year or so, everyone wanted to be in the new M5C or the M4 GTS Ice Racer...I was the guy (one of a few) saying "I just want to get back in the M2."

That said, as it got later into the cycle I figured I'd just hold out until the next iteration...then some of the details on the new one came out and I wasn't keen on it. This happens simultaneously with the announcement of the end of ED. That really pushed me.

Couple this with Covid and the realization that I probably have a 2-3 year window of not having to deal with any seriously bad traffic (my normal commute to DTLA was about 2-2.5 hours a day total), and thus the same window to get back into a manual transmission, and yea I do want it. I just wanted to get a consolation for missing ED.

So, what's actually telling me no? It's the FOMO on an another ED period. My concern is that Porsche will soon pull the plug, and if I have this car for a few years before I can get one of those, I'll never get to do another ED again, period.

So, to sum up the above...
