Lately I've been having a lot of problems with my car; little stuff but none the less its been pissing me off. I have to stay down in Savannah for another week where i go to school because i havent gotten time to fix my damn fuel pump which i need replaced before i go home. The car has 107k on the clock, and my dad who is the only person who knows how much i love my car is now suggesting that it might be a good idea to sell it and get something newer. Now, i dont have the money to buy a newer car and they know that so they would help me out, i just dont know how much. I know for a fact that if i suggested getting a newer mustang, my mom would have a **** fit. She likes my car, but hates all the problems i have with it and would want me to get something that would be a practical car which, im not gonna lie, mine is not...but i dont give a ****. Im an industrial design major and im always hauling around **** im building, but with the seats folded down, ive never had a problem getting my stuff around. At this point im torn because i want to keep my car and keep modding it. I dont owe a cent on the car, ive payed for the entire car, gas, insurance, repairs, and mods myself, and that make me proud. Ive invested over $12k i the car with all the repairs and 3 years of liability insurance ive payed on it, and i feel like if i sell it, i will loose all the time, money, and enjoyment ive spent on it.
If i were to sell the car i would want either a newer mustang like a Mach 1 or a cobra, or a VW like a 20th anniversary gti, 337, or r32. If i cant get any of those cars, im most likely not selling my car. I just look at pics of some of your guys cars though, and i think to myself, in a few years, i can be at that point. I mean my car is in no way in bad shape. Honestly i think its extremely clean, the paint is awesome, the interior is almost perfect save for some spots in the carpet, the car runs like a dream, sounds awesome, has decent power, handles awesome...i mean i LOVE the car. I just dont know if its time for me to grow up. The thing is, whatever car i get, my parents both know damn well its not staying stock...i can never leave well enough alone. Plus, i love to go to the track with my dad....i mean i go almost every weekend with him, and i feel like if i have a car i cant race, it takes all the fun away. Sure i can race a newer mustang...i could even race a VW, but i dont like the front wheel drive thing as much. The thing that i love about my car is the low end torque. When i launch the car at the track, every time i have a grin from ear to ear.
Sorry this is so long guys, but this is an important decision and i need some input. When my buddy alex sold his first car, he regret it for SUCH a long time and i cant go through that. Thanks guys, i know i can always count on you fellas to help me out.
