Sell? Keep? Sell and Keep?, Subaru, Celica, and a 350Z Options

[creis]

Hello Everyone,

A Quick background on my history, I bought my celica compleatly stock but in need of work around 4 years ago, and have loved it and hated it since, I've done tons of mods, removed and redone tons of mods, and gone though 2 motors lost the original one due to driving though a fludded road that was far deeper then I though thus seizing the motor, It was replaced by a good shop my parents have gone since I was born and paid for via insurance. I lost the 2nd motor because of two reasons, one it was from a junked camary and apparently in less then great shape (gata love insurance paying for nothing but the bare minimum) and I could have taken better care of it myself anyway and watch for the signs. that was a year ago, and rather then fix it right away I planed on eventualy swapping at 3s into so it waits in storage. Thus I got my Subaru. and have loved it since, AWD, decent power (2.5RS) and the only body style subaru I really like, I've done a few things to it but tired to hold myself back since I want to keep it my daily driver. Not even gana go into my truck as thats mine and my girlfriends so its not for sale.

Now, my celica in its current state looks amazing but does not run. my Subaru in its current state looks good (great shape, mostly stock) and runs great, so hers the question. Around november of last year I got a growing interest in Z's, and 3 test drives later I fell in love with the power, RWD and looks. So my initial plan was to keep the celica, traid in the subaru for a Z. but I just cant part with my subaru so i figure I could sell my celica and just finance a bit more for the Z but then I dont really want to part with my celica either because i have put so much into it I would never get close to what I put into, but then I kind figure well I could sell the celica, and trade in the subaru and finance that much less of a Z and then be able to do some mods to it as well. on top of everything I'm kinda leaning tward just keeping both and for now not getting a Z so that I dont have to worry about the payments for it and since my insurance would only go up. but then again I really want one

[FYI the "null vote" is mine since I did not want to have to pick one to see the results]

Anyway what do you guys think I should do.? (try to leave out the "HOW COULD YOU SELL YOUR CELICA" posts.)

i think, 10k into the celica, since it doesnt run now, a nice 3s swap plus a bit of extras should get you well over the performance of a 350 (suspension, wheels n tires if you dont have em yet, and more straightline speed/power)

350's are nice, but you;ve held on to the celica this long, i cant see you being happy selling it.

worse case, they still make 350's. so if you change your mind 3-4 years from now, you're still gonna be able to get a 2-3 year old 350 in the condition you want, cant really say that about celica's
