Instead of asking in a daily thread I thought I'd start a dedicated one for the question of "when do you decide it's time to move on to another car vs keeping what ya got and adding/changing it".

My current ride is a 2002 wagon with an auto. While I don't mind it, it never was what I really wanted, Only got it because for a couple years it was the only car for both me and the wife, and she refuses to have a manual (don't ask because I don't know why either)

Well now that it's only my car I've been tempted to get a stick and start modding it (right now it's still bone stock) but for the cost i could just sell it and get something else. Being in Canada I can import stuff from the JDM market up to 1999. But with that said, up here almost every car form the 90's turns into a pile of rust within a couple years.

So, I thought I'd ask you peeps, what do you consider when you're on the fence between keeping what you got or moving on?

 

Judging by your post, I'd say its time to move on

 

^Agreed.

I had the bugeye for a little over 7 years. It was a great car when I got it and still enjoyed it till the end. It had been long enough where I had almost everything done to it I wanted before I started dropping crazy money for mods/upgrades.

And sometimes another car will present itself and you take the opportunity

 

Agreed ^^^ once you ask that and question the car you have, move on if you can

 

Before I got the ST I used to have a 01' RS and it was a great car but it definitely had it's short comings. Since you are north of the border I imagine your ability to get awesome older JDM STi's would be the way to go instead of dumping money into the bugeye.

 

Like everyone said..move on. You can only get so far with an auto..actually its just boring after awhile. Since you live in Canada, there are a huge variety of jdm cars to choose from.

 

Subaru autotragic transmissions are......tragic

 

I told the wife I should get a Daihatsu Midget II. She's not a fan this idea.
