For those in need of a reason to buy a car, the holiday season offers the perfect excuse. As my birthday comes near Christmas, I conjure up even more fantastical justifications.

It’s the time of year that you’re likely to hear phrases like these from around the SCM office:

     “It’s Christmas, I deserve an Alfa Sprint.”

     “I haven’t bought a car in months, and I need one more Lotus before the year is out.”

     “If I buy a TR6 before the end of the year—for business purposes of course—I can take an entire year’s depreciation.” 

     "I’ve always looked good in red, especially when it’s cold outside.”

Here’s my personal favorite reaction to buying a Ferrari, courtesy of Mike Sheehan:  “It’s the nicest thing I ever did for me!”

Tell me what you want under the tree this year in the comments, and your favorite justification for buying it. Happy hunting!
