So how do you justify having a "garage queen 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Kare L on  Thu Nov 25 18:21 CST 2010 [RELATED]

I have almost fully restored my 74 144. It needs an engine rebuild, but it runs ok in its current condition. I drove it from Chicago to Phoenix on the current engine, so it ain't that bad. What I am agonizing about is that I am just not using the car. Im an not taking those weekend trips or going to the car shows. The restoration was a fun hobby, but that part is over. And I am reluctant to sink more money into a car that is just sitting there. I could also use the garage space for my daily driver. So, for those of you in a similar situation, how do you justify keeping an old car that is hardly getting used? I am leaning towards selling it, even though I know I will only get a tiny fraction of my money back.
