What determines if time to move on to the next ride?
Instead of asking in a daily thread I thought I'd start a dedicated one for the question of "when do you decide it's time to move on to another car vs keeping what ya got and adding/changing it".
My current ride is a 2002 wagon with an auto. While I don't mind it, it never was what I really wanted, Only got it because for a couple years it was the only car for both me and the wife, and she refuses to have a manual (don't ask because I don't know why either)
Well now that it's only my car I've been tempted to get a stick and start modding it (right now it's still bone stock) but for the cost i could just sell it and get something else. Being in Canada I can import stuff from the JDM market up to 1999. But with that said, up here almost every car form the 90's turns into a pile of rust within a couple years.
So, I thought I'd ask you peeps, what do you consider when you're on the fence between keeping what you got or moving on?

^Agreed.
I had the bugeye for a little over 7 years. It was a great car when I got it and still enjoyed it till the end. It had been long enough where I had almost everything done to it I wanted before I started dropping crazy money for mods/upgrades.
And sometimes another car will present itself and you take the opportunity
