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!!  Attached thumbnail(s)
