OP here, thanks for all the comments!

I am hearing everyone and likely agree the car will win out. Although it makes me laugh that yet again I am pushing the diamonds back.

Part of the reason is i am actually driving more (10 miles most days) bc of a change in my daily routine. I find all the small things v annoying. When I bought the car I lived in DC proper, didnt drive every day and mostly used it mostly to travel within the mid-atlantic to see family.

-1 since op doesn’t drive often, I’d drive it until it dies. Totally into the ground.

I agree with pp’s suggestion on the bangle.

I can't believe people still get excited about bags, diamonds, and add shoes to it.
Get the car.

Lab ones are still pretty expensive.

Given the amount of time you have to spend driving around here (assuming you’re not in actual DC), why not spend it in something comfortable
