[DeTomaso] Parts car?

[Pantdino]

I agree-- cars frequently don't look as good in person as they do in photos.
And I get attached to my cars too-- especially after you've spent a few dozen hours on and under one fixing / upgrading things. At least you know what you've got. A different car would be a lot of unknowns you'd have to worry about.


I think it makes sense to have a car insured for a bit more than you could sell it for in a hurry because if yours gets stolen you won't want to wait around for a year until you find a "bargain."

I would not get too caught up in photos of a car sight unseen. You can
make a lot of things look good in photos.
