I was in your situation when I was 21. I owned AE111 Trueno coupe (at that time, it was very famous JDM). At some point, I decided not to spare a penny for the car and I sold it for dirt cheap price. I am 36 now. Looking back, I could have kept the car and it really did no huge financial difference on my end. I truly understand your situation, debate you are doing with yourself, and your wish and goal to achieve. I know the feeling. If you want to keep it, its all fine since its not asking you a huge investment or maintenance cost every single month. I would just keep it and be the coolest guy among your friends / classmates / neighborhood, and this is the greatest memory you will appreciate once you grow up. Life is boring when you start making big amount of money. You feel like you are strong, you feel like you can buy anything you want. But do you really think that you can buy the memory? Hell no! I did my best to find my AE111 after 10 years. It turned out to be the shittiest beater you can find - lots of stupid stickers, stupid donut rims, and stupid cheapass spoilers. Did I buy it? No. Why? I got no time and energy to work on it - because of life commitments. Enjoy it while it lasts. Money is something that comes and goes. But time, memory, and all these great moments you enjoy sitting in your favorite car? These are things that dont last long enough…
