How do you budget for your 914?, a bit ancillary to Quennie's thread Options

[nebreitling]

reading Quennie's recent thread got me thinking a bit.

i'm a doctoral student. 24. i earn my income primarily by teaching core classes at stanford university, and this doesn't add up to a particularly large sum (especially by Bay area standards)...

and i own a 914.

obviously, this presents a problem. now, my 914 has been unusually reliable, but it is still the hassle (and joy!) of a 30 year-old sports car. similiar to queenie, i have only owned vintage cars -- and am not about to change that! most of my free time and money go to the car, and over the course of the year that i've owned it, i have significantly improved its condition. it's a source of pride and joy for me, and i've never considered selling it.

so i'm curious: how do you budget for your 914? do you ever feel like you spend too much on your car?

They don't, haha. If you don't know how to work on a car find someone then or learn.
Queenie is in school and has no time, doesn't know how and can't afford it soo the third option is to get a boyfriend who knows how. That was why I made that comment.
Sellling a car cuz its expensive to fix, well all cars are expensive. Buy new and you pay monthly or buy used and pay to repair it from time to time.

I like to work on cars and I can cook ok. Monique loves to cook and not work on cars, so we are a match made in heaven. haha
