Suggestions for those who have been through this.
I meant to say Suggestions from those who have been through this.
Im thinking about selling my accord and up grading to an F250.
The thing is, I love driving the car. I have had it since I was a senior in High School. (2002). I would love to fork over 3k and have an H23 put in with turbo set up and be done with it. The car is pretty quick for being a 2.2 Sohc. If I was to get the turbo kit this car would be nasty. (See DLB1994's profile for proof. That is who would be building this) I have many memories with the car. And kinda don't want to let it go.
However, I have always wanted a diesel truck. I feel bad using my dad's F150 whenever I need to haul my project ( 1954 Ford Pickup
) around to get work done on it. I would also have more room for my lab in the truck instead of the back seat of the accord.
Just kinda want some thoughts and opinions to those who have sold their car and wish they had not, and some of those who sold it and kinda never thought twice about it. What would you do?

Lab? Meth Lab?
I'd stick with the daily and just find a place where you can store your project truck until school is over (assuming thats what you meant by lab)

I have been out of college for a year now. And have a decent paying full time job. That is what has led me to this crossroad.

Re: Suggestions for those who have been through this.
What year is the accord? Would you really get that much trading it in? If not just keep it and save a little longer for the truck. It's nice to have both, but if you really have to pick get the truck.

I sold my Lightning for a F350 last year. I miss the L every once in awhile but when it comes to winter and snow and ice I never look back.
Plus, if you get the Diesel, it will already be faster than your car.

Re: Suggestions for those who have been through this.
since youve had the car since you were a senior, In a way it might be nice for a change, but you also have to look at the sentamental value to you, and decided whether or not you would regret it everday like i do with my 240 i sold.
