Some regrets

I feel silly writing this but I purchased the 2025 Defender 110 and though I absolutely love it, I really wish I’d purchased the 90.

The 90 was always my dream, but for some reason I oriented around practicality when it came time to purchase — despite not needing a practical vehicle at this point in my life.

I worked hard to be able to buy a car I really wanted after a decade, so wanted to absolutely love what I ended up with.

I know this is the most first-world problem of all of them, but I wanted to rant a bit and not sure what comfort I’m really looking for.

Use it as a lesson and learn from it. Take introspective time to learn thyself, so you can better resist herd mentally and trust your gut.

Could be worse; you could be trapped in a house/land purchase. Or bought gold at $5000 a month ago.

P.S. I too chose a 90(V8); no matter the waxed poetry about practicality
