Pro's

- Debt free and then some.
- Downpayment on house. (I still rent.)
- Allows me to focus on career goals. (More money for college clases rather than VR-4 maintainence.)
- I would really rather start fresh with a better platform when the time and finances allow. THE 3000GT PLATFORM SUCKS! ... yes, I said it!

Con's

- Well, I wouldn't be able to jump in the car and go for a fun drive anytime of day or night.
- Many people have put much time into this car, not just myself.
- Debt would take longer to finish being paid due to car maintainence $$, gas, etc.
- Memories of building one of the best 3kgt's in the world.
- I'll probably be retired from the car scene for a while.
Here's my take... you know what needs to be done. Scenerio 1 is how rich people become rich and you'll have a Ferrari later in life.

Scenario 2... you have too much tied up in your hobby and keep making sacrifices to maintain that level of living and you never advance.

Scenario1 is short term "pain" for long term financial and career gain

Scenario 2 is short term pleasure w/ long term mediocrity.
