It takes a lot to finally hit a wall and feel you've done all you could. I still have my Del sol but i have it squirreled away. I love the car but because I've taken it apart like 100 times I just want it like an item now. I understand needing to just get rid of it to explore and try something new. Otherwise you're going to end up building the same thing over and over and you won't enjoy the building anymore.

Dude that dope, congrats on finishing! No doubt you will love developing. I had the same feeling with my Integra, the constant worry that my car is going to get stolen or even someone is going to hit me without getting any compensation. Eventually I just chose a different path and started focusing more on my career and self growth. Now i just drive a beater haha.

I couldn’t agree more with what you’re saying. I’m at a point in my life where I too want a change of pace, and somehow-someway my 95’ LS Integra that I’ve own for 7 years, has been holding me back. And for as much as I love it and want to spend very nickel and dime I have to make it into the dream car I’ve always wanted- I also now have other desires, needs and responsibilities that require more of my dedication and finances to achieve. So considering what you wanted and the circumstances, I definitely understand why you had to do what you did, and thankfully it all worked out! I’ll be doing the same soon… Although I don’t think I’ll be selling my Integra like you did your hatch (cause mine ain’t worth as much as yours lol) I will forsure stop prioritizing that car, buy something else that I can enjoy and worry less about, and just go on fulfilling my life.

I hear you on all that. I remember when I first bought my 2005 Acura rsx brand new from the dealer and as of today I still have it and drive it like no tomorrow. It’s now got 352,000km and even repainted the car just 2 years ago of the same colour black and everything still looks brand spanking new inside. Thought of selling it but…. It’s tough. Love it too much!❤ I don’t want to sell it

This is how I am with my cars. I sell them whenever I feel like I want or need to. Only regret is selling before hype makes prices go crazy. I tend to do something early then it becomes trendy by the time I'm done with it and prices explode.

Completely on board with you man. My friends sometimes ask why I have so much money saved and my car build is moving so slow and because I rather enjoy other things life also has to offer. I wanted to turbo my rsx last year but instead blew what I saved on a 2 week trip to Europe, now I’m less then a month away from my trip and I’m more excited to live that experience VS having a turbo build, nothing beats the memories, building a car with the homies is cool but traveling is a whole other experience.

I just sold my dc2 GSR and although it was tough, you took the words right out of my mouth about why I sold it. I did everything I wanted (FBO K20z3, Comptech supercharged k20z3, turbo k20z3, 250hp NA k24) and it was time to move on especially when the only time I could drive it was if I was in and out or staring right at it (I’m in Cali too). Kind of a sad way to enjoy cars imo. Now I’m considering selling my AWD K CRX and move away from the older Hondas too as I have a family now and wanna be able to take them to shows. A manual TSX is on my list of cars to build as it fits the bill. 4 doors, comfortable, k24.

Damn man. I still will never understand people that sell a perfect car that you put so much money, time, and love into. You were “tired of it”, I get it, really… not really. I have experienced much regret in selling a car that I loved in the past. I’ve owned my 1994 Integra GSR for 9 years and still never plan on selling it… you know why? Because I love that car, it is fun as hell to drive, no new car can match the driving experience!! Why would I sell that driving experience, money, sooooo much time dedicated into that car, etc.
