That's money talking. Don't trip.
When you save like the guy with the Nova, bust your ass and your knuckles, or come from nothing, you get attached. Different perspectives from different people.
I had 73' Camaro split bumper RS/Z28. Was saving money to rebuild the motor and it was stolen from my carport. I ended up selling it for next to nothing. Didn't know what I had. Took that money and bought my first motorcycle. Got hooked, crashed a lot, went racing crashed some more. Might have a different life had I kept the car.

I've been fortunate to have more than a couple pretty cool cars, but the only one I actually regret selling was the cheapest and nothing more than a knock-around beater. It was a 98 Jeep Cherokee (my favorite bodystyle) that I picked up used from a friend for about $2500. I sold it for around $1500 which was a total mistake, because I'd much rather have that car back than the $1500 I got for it. It'd be the perfect car to run up to the hardware store in or use for some little projects.

2006 Lancer Evolution SSL. My father and mine blood sweet and tears car. My father passed away when I was 17 and was forced to sell when family ran into some finicial issues. 39k invested in car by my father and countless hours/memories under to hood. Don't have pictures currently due to being out of country, but it made 534awhp on e-85 and ran an 11.3 quater with my driving. I wasn't home when it was gone, but I teared when I opened up the garage and saw my car cover flat on the ground where my baby once sat.

I'm sure that I'll miss my '95 Taurus SHO some time after selling, but it's time to move on and it never was a "performance". The car taught me a lot over the years and I built it from stock 180whp to about 500whp after adding a blower (381whp with stock motor), building a motor, adding E85. I know the car will go in hands that will enjoy it for what it is. I think what I'll miss most is bruising egos on the freeway.

Here's my 1992 Integra GS-R. Sadly it doesn't look that nice anymore. Paint is faded and it has 295k at the moment. Luckily I haven't been forced to sell her. And after 13 years I'm not sure I could bring myself to get rid of her. Still gets 28-31 mpg on the reg and burns no oil
