I'm sure the OP has already sold the car, but I wanted to chime in with something anyway. I look at this way, I would keep the car, suck up the lost income (unless it's dire), and let the monthy payments force me to pay it off, so no matter what I will own it, OR I could sell it, take a bath on it, maybe never get out of debt, still have NO car, and have a HUGE resentment/regret towards myself/wife. If it was me, I would still choose keeping the car. You can't cure resentment.

Heh... here I am, 3 years later. Married, and in a very good place. The decision at the time was the right one. I drove a beat up old Corolla i bought on CL for $500 for a few months, sold it for $1200, then bought a BMW 323i for $3k - slapped on a new set of tires and completely replaced the shocks/springs/struts with a new H&R Touring Cup Set, drove that for a bit, sold it for $4k.
I'm happy to say, I took delivery last night on a 2016 Hot Lava . My wife loves it, and she's excited that I can enjoy the car again, now that we're in a much better place financially (and emotionally). it's good to be back!!

Still love the asphalt.. like that stealth/hardcore look you can have with asphalt or the black.. but I wanted something that really stood out.. and i really like the contrast of the orange with black accessories.. think it looks sharp! I keep sneaking peaks at it in the driveway between meetings, and i think i love the colour more every time i look at it!

You can always get another Wife.
Ask yourself, what gives me a better thrill. I'd keep the car. |

Good to hear. I remembered this thread a while back when I first was interested in the car. Lava is an awesome colour choice!

Welcome back dude! I remember watching your YouTube videos back when I first bought my FR-S. I believe it was a bunch of hidden features in the videos. I thought it was cool that you were a member here. Thanks for the vids!
