Well, it interfered with work, my family, sleep, everything. I was out of control.

It wasn't happiness either. I was so disgusted with everything going on, so sick, so hopeless at times, trying every possible situation with every possible car. It became so tiring, but I never stopped. The number crunching, the trade offers, the negotiations, the continuous fear of making a bad deal and having buyer's remorse. I have gotten about 10 hours of total sleep this week. I was spamming my wife with emails during the day, and friends. I was so wound up it was crazy. Not tired either. I've lost weight too! I don't need food!

...but

I made a deal today and am getting the car tomorrow.

I didn't take it up to 100 on any road tests today either.
I am definitely settling down now. And no buyer's remorse, because I'm out of my way overpriced lease, and will be purchasing an "asset" for less, and in my opinion it's a much better car.

I didn't go with that GTI. That's just not practical for the family. Also, it's a bit too street racer for me.
