I have no idea, in some ways I love it and want to keep it and do an engine swap when this one dies (hope in a long time) but in another way I'd like it to be worth something when I sell it so I can afford a quicker, better handling car. For now I'm just gonna do suspension things and keep it a couple of years, by then it will have atleast 250 000km on it, I bought it a year ago with 175 000km now it has 195 000

Hopefully not any time soon. But eventually, I probably will (this is why I've kept all my stock parts). I'll probably have the car for another few years at least though.

Will never sell my car no matter what. After I calculate what I have put into it once complete, I will keep it even if I become multi-millionaire. Rarity is Value.

Been wanting to get a different car for awhile now...
 haha the problem is just letting go... My first car, I put so much hard work and money into it, blah blah... etc, etc... Another thing that has been holding me back though, is I just can't decide what car I want after the celica... I keep changing my mind every 4 seconds... I'm craving change cuz I've had the car for so long now and I'm getting bored, so I'm thinking about getting a Ninja250 just for sh!ts n' giggles to have on the side... Might as well keep the car if it gives me no trouble, and I have no payments on it... specially while I'm in school...

One thing I learned about cars is to never fall in love with them.. They will fail on you at some time, get old, get boring, etc. When the cost of repairs start rising and the thrill is gone, sell it. I did last summer and dont even think about it anymore..A car is a car....dump it when it feels right.

I will cut for making statements like those.  I might have to let her go...my dad might be good for a good graduation present. If that doesn't happen, I'd be fine with keeping her. Thing is, I love my car, but I wouldn't die over letting her go. I'd rather get a more potent car to start with, let's just say a GT-4 (  ), and make her as beautiful as I want.

Thats what is in the back of my mind, yes i could turbo my 5S-FE or engine swap. But maybe one day i want to go to a track and do a little drifting and i wont have the opportunity. But im taking my chances and going to keep it for the long run. Well thats what im thinking at this time, i hope i dont regret it down the track -------------------- |

I plan on keeping my car for the long run... I don't PLAN on selling it ever, but some things are just unforeseeable. I want to keep this car all my life and keep putting money into it. I have to repair the rust and repaint within 2 years or so... But no matter what I drive daily, the Celica will always have a place in my garage.
