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.

pave the driveway perhaps. i'm in the process of getting an estimate on that myself. a paved driveway counts as equity and should increase the value of your house.

i'm 31 as well and really want to spend money on making my car better, but houses have a prodigious thirst for thousands of dollars.

other things to think about:
1) typically american males have a midlife crisis. retaining your sports car would make such a crisis easier to complete.
2) i have a friend who is 82 (not a typo, eighty-two), a few years back he gave away his sensible hybrid sedan and bought an rx8.
