Do you regret getting your Celi? Options

Has there ever been a time where you were ready to pack it all up and get something faster, better looking whatever it may have been that caught your eye? I almost did once with a blue Subru 2.5 rs. The only thing that stopped me was my wallet, the car was 17g's and I still owed about 6 on mine. To this day when someone says nice car I thell the its theirs for 15 thousand. The day someone says yes is the day I sell my car. My bro's GF offered 10.5 but thats as close as I have gotten.

I have the best of both worlds (in a sic, distopia kind of way). I bought a totalled (sideswiped, light frame damage, but still was able to put on new doors that open and shut with a little kick or two) 94 Civic EX 4dr 5speed with 220k on it for 500 bucks last spring. Immediately got rid of my car I was making payments on (an accord) and just said I'll deal with the windows not going up or down due to mismatched wiring harnesses when the doors were replaced and use the a/c in the summer and enjoy not having a car payment. We just had a baby so when tax time came around my bank account finally looked nice, not to mention the extra money saved rather than going into car payments (300 a month)... so I decided I was gonna buy something closer to what I always wanted.

I didn't think a 6th gen was ever something I was gonna find for what I set aside to spend (around 3000, didnt want to spend too much on a toy), but one random sunday I just happen to be checking craigslist before going to grab dinner, and there was a 96 ST one (older) owner with only 109k on it and all maintenance records (this guy was more anal than a proctologist's job), and they were asking $3000. A test drive later and quite a few questions, and I drove off in my new car.

I kind of regretted buying it when I tried to put a baby seat in it. Then I realized that I still have another car with 4 doors to drive the little one around in when needed.

So yeah. I'm back to feeling like I did on the way home from picking it up. Love this little car. Just need to have the patience to wait for it to warm up a bit to do some aftermarket work to it to take care of that whole "slow" thing.
