I would move it up to next year, that way you have more time to enjoy it before you move on down the dusty trail.

Now you could easily counter with, "But you don't actually see any of that engine bay bullsh1t." And I suppose you'd be right. Although I do open the hood often and clean the engine bay, so IDK where I'm going with that.

Truth is, I'll probably do the GTR button someday. Right now, though, it's not on my list. Heck, these ***** weren't on my list either, they were an impulse purchase. Damn good one, though.
