First off I'm 17 and my 914 is my first car that I worked day in and day out at a minimum wage job to pay for. But lately I have been beginning to realize that this is not a daily driver car. So here is the problem. I need a daily driver but I love my car. She is cherry red and turns heads everywhere we go. The question is will I regret getting rid of it when I hit my midlife crisis? This is my baby and tears come to my eyes when I think of getting rid of it but its not cheap and it keeps my wallet constantly empty. So I thought who better to ask than the one group of people that understands what its like. Should I suffer through it and know that in the long run keeping it is best or sell it and buy something a little more practical?

My first car when I was your age was a '74 Bug, it's what I learned to drive in.
I guess it all depends on whether you can afford to buy another car and if you have space for keeping the 914. At 17, it's a different ball game than it is when you are older. Keep the 914 for sure if you can, you'll kick your self later if you sell it. Also keep in mind that a beater Civic or the like, is still going to require some $ put into it over time. However, it's the route I'd take at this point if I was you. Tell us what needs done to the 914 in the near future and what you've put money into in the past. There's always a way to accomplish what you want if you put mind over matter. Work hard, make it happen! |
