The fact that it's being used up also has a silver lining. It will long since be paid for at the end of its useful life, so at that point I'll just finance another car to drive for work and keep this one to build out as a weekend/track toy. If it's not worth anything at that point, I won't feel any financial doubts about keeping it.

I dont plan on selling mine ever either, so I don't mind being paid for the extra miles haha.
