which is exactly why my car isn't getting painted until I get a house.

but.. i can't sell my car .. it means too much.. that and the bitch is paid for

Nonetheless, in thinking about selling the car, I have definately thought about what their feelings are as they did help even though they were compensated. But, bottom line, the title to the car is in my hand and no one elses.

Anyone who knows me knows that I didn't build it to sell it.

As I said before, this will require more thought and time than will be seen in the lifetime of thread. Thanks for all of the feedback everyone.



I just couldn't let something like your car go after all the time/money/everything you put into it, at least not this early on.

Advice?

I feel like I am at a crossroads in life....

There is nothing like buying your first home. I say get the house. I slept in my home without furniture the first night. It was in storage.

Here is a quick illustration...

well, jay you did tell me you wanted an mkiv supra...
sell the car, get the house and buy a better platform car (not a mitsushitty )...
makes the most financial sense but it'll suck having to see someone else drive off in YOUR car.

What are you talking about? I'm saying you can drive and live in a trailer. To some people they're homes.
