Should I Sell Out? Options

[914Pro]

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?

Help Please!!

I regret selling my beetles, and they're getting hard to find for cheap. I keep thinking I'll get another one soon but I haven't yet.

I have managed to hold on to my '73 911 which was the first car I actually bought for myself at 19 years old, and it's nearly back on the road again. At the rate longhoods are appreciating I could easily sell it and get a pretty nice car with the money, but it wouldn't be my first Porsche.



I agree with an earlier statement... If you've been putting money into it then it will probably be reliable soon. I drive what you'd consider a rusty beater 914 as my daily driver, it's hard to kill these cars.
