true but i had a 95 z that had 75k on it and i barely got 5500 from people and it was mint condition and was an easy 13 sec car. im kind of comparing that as a basis.

Ive been loosing interest every day. To much little things that are just building up that Im just to lazy to take a stab at. Lately since my girlfriend is home the car has taken a liking to sitting in the driveway. In a way its a good thing because Im preserving it just that little bit longer. But after I took it to work on Saturday and found a dent in my rear 1/4 pannel Ive been furious at the car and the mall. Ive always wanted to have a flawless car and I did for a while now its no longer virgin.

Exactly. I didn't get to drive the camaro till august (was using it as a DD prior to march), so I didn't really have it for the summer..but I had a lot of nice weekends to use it and every friday night driving to my grandmas to switch cars always put a smile on my face. Even sunday night or monday morning switching back to the T-Bird was nice because its a more comfortable ride. Both cars have pros and cons.

i used to feel that way about a show-truck that i had. then one day i found something i wanted more....My SS and new truck. and actually i don't miss the truck much at all. sometimes it's just time for a new project.

i've gotten tired of my car so many times i cant count anymore. its always for sale untill i go to the track or beat the piss out of it one night. that makes me change my mind quick. i'll let my car sit for a week or two with out looking at it, then get the bug and get bit again. its a repetative process.

the only time i ever got tired of a car, seriously, was when i was making payments. if i own it and it's in some state of transformation and not really in the way, then i don't even think about it unless i see some mod that i want to do. the '87 is on hold until i get the funds to do the motor. once the motor is done, then i will prep it for paint and hopefully get involved in the painting process. the '69 needs paint, but until i get a storage facility for it, there is no sense. right now the majority of weather is kept off of it (via the 'carport' tarp) but humidity is still a concern. i'd never tire of either of these cars because i own them.

i have never had any car payments, but can understand that they suck. its not that i want to sell my car and put money in the bank, or use it to pay off my bills. i want to sell my car and get a new toy. right now i am slightly considering selling it to fund a 64 chevelle project my step dad and i are working on. not thinking realisticly about this because i dont want partial ownership of any car i am sinking money into but would be cool. the car is probably now my favorite car. something about it is awsome.
