what should i do? Options

[i love porsche]

so ive been thinking lately,

im a college student, trying to do a full restoration on my 914, also, not having a really steady job is hard too....i love my 924S, and if it was my only car, it would be perfect, but i have the 914 im dying to drive, and i need to throw money at it, while in the meantime i want to AX the 924S, BUT im very afraid of damaging it from driving too hard, because its my daily driver for one, and repairing it (even though i do my own work) will be really expensive...

so ive been toying around with the idea of getting an 89 or so Ford Escort GT, theyre incredibly cheap (good example for less than 1k) and reliable, and fun to drive from what ive heard, so i can still AX it, but with alot less worry.

also, i can probably get close to 4k for my 924S, so that means ill have a couple grand to throw at the 914, which means i can drive it a whole lot sooner

any thoughts?

there is a war going on inside my head right now....

i know what you all are saying about keeping the 924S, it is a great car, and i dont see it depreciating any time soon, but...its just expensive, any time i want to do some work on the car, its going to cost me at least 100 bucks, and i am doing it all myself...

i am definetly taking my time with the 914 restoration and trying to do everything the right way, but its soooo stressful, wanting to drive it...and with an extra couple grand...it will come much sooner, i say it all the time, money is the thing that is holding me back in the restoration...

as for a replacement car...im kind of set on an escort GT, for a couple reasons, 1- i REALLY like the looks of it, i know, its weird, but it has that rally car look...which is just awesome to me, 2- they are dirt cheap because there really isnt a demand for them, 3- ive heard mostly great things about their reliability and handling and such..its not a lotus, but its still fun...and i wouldnt be so worried about it, as i am about the 924S...

so ive come to this conclusion....im going to keep my eyes open for a car, but it has to be the right one, good price, low miles, nice condition, not abused (i know they are out there, there were 2 on ebay a while ago with 50k miles) so if the car comes along and its right, then ill get it and the tradeoff will happen, if the car never shows up, then ill stick with the 924S, which i do enjoy oh so much...so fate will decide...
