Running the numbers between GTI, Bolt and my M3, it seems like if I can keep myself out of jail, it's most cost effective to just shovel heaps of fuel at the M. The GTI is cheaper to operate but is depreciating faster than the M. Bolt is waaaay cheaper to operate but like a toaster, depreciation is comparable to a cliff. When my electric truck is ready, the M will probably still be worth what it's worth now. Wife is still pushing for GTI but aside from the pure satisfaction my car gives me, and barring any unknown repairs, I think I'll just keep enjoying the shit out of my E90 M3 6MT.
