I disagree. Upgrading to something more refined, advanced, with better technology is what pushes the car industry forward.

If everyone was keeping their 89 civic for the fear that they will cry themselves to death if they sell it, there would be no R&D going on.

the longer you wait, the less money you will get back.. the fact that someone will **** with it is ineviteable.. its just a bunch of metal and plastic, it doesnt feel pain

Yup, moving on to bigger and better things definitely helps. Entry level luxury car is definitely a huge step up from my 99 civic. I have to say, the civic feels a lot faster, lol

My first car was an 89 GMC S15 puckup. Was glad to see it go...lol.

When you customize and spend alot of time and money on your ride, you do get attatched to it, and it can be difficult to let go of it.

Thats why I've kept my 94 cavalier around to use as a project car so i don't screw up my daily driver....lol.

well my first few cars were a breeze to let go... the honda is the only one I'm attached to. I think if a car's been good to you, you feel like you're betraying it by letting it go. if you have many problems with the car, or its a rustbucket, then you don't feel quite as bad.

you listen to too much rap and you let it affect your brain apparently.

it's a big body CHEVY not ACURA first of all... and secondly the TSX is like a.... small midsize classification. like a Jetta sized car...

would you call a jetta 'big body'

sounds to me like you need a cadillac coupe de ville or like... I picture you rollin in a 80s Chevy Caprice Classic. that's big body chevy son.

That's so true. For me every car I got was an upgrade from the previous, so I never felt bad for letting the old one go.

I returned it to stock and it looks butt ugly in my eyes now which makes it so much easier to let it go. I don't even care care anymore. A stock car was not the one I found hard to let go of.
