    Do you have a car you'll never sell/wish you never sold?

    Do you guys have a car you'll never sell or wish you never sold? For me it's gonna be my e30 wayyyyyy to much blood, sweat and tears in this things not to mention the $$$$ and sentimental value.

    Plum purple Caviler. I should have changed the oil. Maybe it was unreasonable to expect it to go 25,000 miles on one oil change. Maybe not.

        My first Mk1 VW was a diesel Jetta Coupe, did so much work to that car, built a badass turbo diesel for it then sold it shortly after because I wanted to get out of debt. I regret it all the time and its still running like a tank up in the PNW. Its one of the main reasons I wont sell my E30. I'll deal with the debt because I know I'll never build an E30 like the one I currently own.

          Wish I could've held onto the Saab 99LE I had in college -- a silver two-door with the soccer-ball rims. Was FWD ... wasn't particularly fast ... certainly didn't handle or brake nearly as well as an E30 .... but nevertheless it was fun to drive. Tons of charm and character and damn near bulletproof. Cool and quirky -- loved the ignition switch on the floor, the backwards engine placement and the weird-looking-but-comfortable seats. Great memories ...

                  If youre questioning it at all keep it. Sold my M2 after someone offered me a lot of money for it. Kicking myself in the ass now

                      My E30. It's not perfect, but I love the color combo (schwarz/cardinal), it's got nearly every option and it has ZERO rust. Salvage title though, but whatever. I love the car. I did the front and rear suspension, and found not a single rusted bolt, which is a first for me.

                      I don't know that I'll never sell it, but it would be really hard to sell my Jetta. It's been with my family since 1988 (it's an '86), it's super easy/cheap to maintain, very reliable, and it's got over 500k on the clock. Too much sentimental value to let it go.

                      And lastly, my 240z. Because it has so much rust that I'll either try to do the impossible and fix it, or I'll scrap it. I'm the last owner of that car, either way. Unfortunately, finding another 70/71 shell with no rust is hard to do from NJ, and prices are slowly going up...

                            At this point I don't think I'll ever sell my m coupe. It was a long time dream car.
