Pretty sound financial judgment, but I guarantee tomorrow I'll be justifying myself into keeping it again ;-)

OP, I've been there. I sold my Camaro in the mid 80's because my wife and I had bought our first house and had our first child and we had trouble justifying a 2nd car that we couldn't fit a playpen into. After selling that car (and kicking myself in the butt), it was one expense after another that kept me from having the one toy that brought me this kind of ultimate pleasure. It wasn't until more than 20 years later after writing that last tuition payment for my oldest son that I could get back behind the wheel of a true muscle car.

Make it work.

Nuke, your post has made me seriously reconsider and most likely hold on to the car. I have heard the same message before but it never really hit me that unless I have a car like this going into the house buying/kid having/etc timeframe, it's going to be 10-15 years or more before I could justify getting another one. Easier to just have it all the way through :-).

I'm pretty set on keeping it. I appreciate the input from the others.
