What are some thing I can do to keep my interest in my Celica? Options

[1994Celica]

Well I'm getting bored of my car. I want to to be faster, and just more fun and rewarding to drive. I want to know if there's anything I can do to improve it to keep my interest in the car.

For the money I've spent, I feel I've invested well with my money.

The last new vehicle purchase in my household was a 7 year loan, for 17k. Was not a performance car, was a Toyota Yaris.

I have not invested 17k into my Celica, and I never will. Max will be 10k. So when I'm done the swap, and all the exterior bits I should be around 8-9k. This is excluding some maintenance because every vehicle has it. I've spent 7k less, have a low mileage drive train, all new suspension, basically a completely refreshed vehicle that is faster, powerful, more fun, and what I like. Still cheaper in my opinion to build it up yourself, if you aren't going for a crazy track vehicle.

Saving and learning at the same time, hard to beat that. Specially with newer vehicles being a bit more complicated nowadays to ....tinker with.

Oh and I don't change my car to get a return profit. If I put something on it, only I like, I do not expect it to create value, even though I paid with earned income. Value is in the eye of the purchaser.

This.

As for Mr. Box's gripes, I can understand, and that's the reason I'd rather put my money into something that gives a guaranteed daily return, beneficial at all speeds - handling optimization.
