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?

Dude.. don't sell it. If you really love your car, it becomes part of your family.
True story. Betty and I were married about 2 years, and things got really lean money wise. She was using her 914 as a daily driver, and I was driving a beat up old Dodge Aspen to work. I already had my 914, and at the time it looked like an escapee from a junkyard. We only had the money to keep one 914 running reliably, and that included the months where we ate peanut butter sandwiches because we couldn't afford anything else. We talked about selling my car, but she finally talked me out of it. Best decision we ever made. Years later, it is a beautiful six conversion, and it is getting closer to my vision every time I work on it. I agree with the suggestions above. Buy a cheap Honda for basic transportation, and keep your 914. You will be glad you did. |
