We are all very Blessed to have these types of discussions!!
Both cars are such different and awesome driving experiences it is a great problem to have choosing one or the other.
Years of seat time in the 05 makes driving it like wearing a broken in pair of boots that fit perfect and feel great. Still a thrill and the timeless classic look will never grow old. Even if Blue gets less miles I can't foresee any situation where she will leave home.
As my confidence level develops in the 19 it is an amazing driving experience like no other. The small cockpit totally wraps around you and the seat bolsters provide secure fit when strapped in. Power is endless and the shifting is smooth and precise. Personally I drive 98% of the time in Sport mode and M unless using launch control which has only been once so far.
A few learning curves for me.
Everybody thinks you are somebody special to own and drive one of these cars and I guess in a way we are.
The best answer of how much it costs, GOOGLE IT!
Finding the best way to get in and out without sliding on the seat bolsters. Steven cautioned constant sliding will eventually wear the threads on the bolsters.
Driving in Manual under heavy acceleration you better be ready to shift, the lights cycle fast.
I had a hard time initially finding the turn signals without looking and holding them to stay on and sometime hit the wiper wheel.
Driving with wing up all time looks really cool but also make rear visibility worse and you loose the fun of watching it operate.
Thanks to all that served our County
