Here is my ultimate dilemma.

I am debating on parting with my WS6 again. I thought of it a while ago, but couldn't justify it. This is when I was still living with my parents, so I really couldn't part with it.

Story on my car is I have had it since I was 17. I wrecked my 94 formula after falling asleep driving to school, and shortly after that found my current WS6. I have done every mod myself, and the car and I have been through hell and back. Cracking a torque arm when driving home, rear U joint blowing out, setting off my airbags with 3 other people in the car at 10mph, spec stage 2 clutch roasting the PP under stock power, lady running over the front end of my car in a parking lot, many races and burnouts, fun cruises with the t-tops off.... I love this car, but at some point, I would kill for a house with a garage, and have my car in there instead of outside!!!

Now that I am off on my own (with my GF

), I have a different thought process on it.

We recently tried buying a house, because her father decided to pay for the house and we would pay him the mortgage. We were looking, and were about to make our decision in a week or so, and he drops a bomb on us saying, "interest for life", etc. etc. bs. bs. So that was squashed hard.

Since moving out, medical procedures for my back, diabetes, more bills since I'm not under my parents roof, has really put a toll on my finances. I'm not SUPER SUPER in debt, but I do have Credit Card debit. I make huge payments every 2 weeks.

I am 100% selling the civic. After driving it, I just feel like a high school punk driving it, even though it is a BLAST to drive and it handles like a dream lol.

Anyway, my current thought process is:

Sell my WS6 outright OR Part out my WS6, keep some essential parts for my next bird (GMMG, MGW short throw, my stock wheels, and my sweet tail lights.
Pay off my debt and save for a house WITH A GARAGE to store my toys. If I sold the above 2 vehicles I would be out of debt.
Buy another pristine LT1 WS6, buy back my current bird, or buy a LS1 WS6. Keep it in the garage where it should be. Not rotting away outside like my current one.

I don't know most of you guys personally, but some input is always good from car people. If I was really going to sell my bird, I would prefer to sell it to a club member here who I KNOW will take good care of it, and maybe a few years down the road wouldn't mind selling it back

. Of course, if they don't, no big deal... I'll find another!

TLDR:
Should I sell/partout my bird so I can pay off my debt?
