I suppose some come from a different background as far as a "first car". It seems you got a car that you love for your first car, that car didn't come to me until my third car which is my MR2. It was the first car I bought that I REALLY liked and hence I won't get rid of it almost no matter what. If you can do it, keep it presuming it is that one car you always HAD to have.....
Although I really enjoyed the Fiero, it was an auto and I have the luxury of knowing right where it is at this time lol. I regularly see about 6 of my cars that I have had.
