hmmm as alot of people have said, it's just for fun. i do it b/c it's fun. i also do it b/c i don't have money to buy a new car so I really need to maintain this one.
if you look at it from another perspective, most enthusiasts don't spend as much on their car compared to people who buy a car brand new. a 240sx needs liability insurance only. that saves money. on top of that it doesn't have a 20k+ pricetag. even if you bought a s13 and dumped 5k into basic maintenance, repairs and a few upgrades you'd still be a good 10k+ under a new car, and you would be able to fix most problems yourself.
i totally agree with makoto... why would a girl try to make you walk away from something you really love. seems to me like she doesn't understand you at all... it's not about the money. it's probably about the time invested and emotional commitment. 2-3 year when college is over? you're gf is a little nuts IMO. you guys must be like 18-19. around here ppl dont stand having kids until they are 27+.
