Well, I am posting this to see what u guys think. I'm 31 now and have a kid and when I drive my car around it gets so much attention it makes me feel like its too flashy for me. Don't get me wrong now...I love the car and it's sooo much fun but I just feel like when my kid jumps out of the back people look at me like "holy cow a little kid just rode in that!" I own a house and have a family now I should just get a normal car and stop with having a daily and having a garage queen that my kid thinks is a waaaaaa zoooooom car. I'm selling the whole swap and putting back to na to sell off everything at a more reasonable price. It will be a sad day when it druves away but I'm sure it will make someone super happy.

While not married nor do i have any kids at 37 and i have 3 Celicas and a 95 mr2
but one thing i will never do is worry about being too flashy or feel i have to
drive a "normal" car to appease the neighbors. If selling makes sense for your
family then do it..

I have many friends in 40's who own high hp Toyota's,have kids,house etc and most
would regret selling so they don't. None worry about what other people think and
drive them for pure enjoyment. I will always like being the guy who is not a clone of everyone
else on block driving a Camry ,Accord or Sonata.
