Making payments on something you don't drive every single day isn't a waste. You'll have less miles on it and it'll last longer. I'm looking forward to the day she's paid off and I have a car with less then 40k miles with no car payment. Not to mention it'll be nice to have it in the garage all winter for dis-assembly to add those sweet, sweet parts for the summer auto-crosses.
I agree, however I bought my car to have fun and actually sold my winter beater. I think my FRS is going to be a lot of fun in the snow with my snow tires.
