Meh, im in the same boat…
I love my car, and have been enjoying it since ive replaced all the bushings, the response is a lot better, but on the other hand, there are just days when im kinda UGH about driving it around… the suspension is hard, the clutch is slipping… and there are a bunch of misc rattles in the interior…
Ive been flip flopping if i want to sell it and buy something stock/fun (amg benz, 335i, 996 911TT)
or just replace the clutch and SC the car, and buy a cheap daily (b5 a4) … i go back and forth almost every day, and i still have to remember to be financially responsible since i own a house now, and with teh economy tanking i need to have an emergency fund thats not tied up in my car.
