Re: when do you know it's time to move on.

Congrats on the sale, Curt, hopefully it's going to a good owner.

I just want to reiterate what was said. Anybody can pickup a turbo Mitsu for inexpensive. However, the the amount of upkeep that is required to bring them back to life, upgrade, then replace parts, can be enormous.

It took the better part of 10 years to realize the cycle never ends: Upgrade car, enjoy car, car then breaks the next weakest link. Want to sell car, pussy out and fix car, enjoy car, car breaks again... you get the idea.

I did enjoy this for a few years, don't get me wrong, but I am at a point in life where the time commitment to fixing a toy is no longer practical. I think I am going to persuit a less powerful, but far more balanced vehicle... see how it goes.
