ok, i have a bit of a strange situation... i got my xf a few months ago and used to drive it every day but i soon became increasingly more worried about it being out in the real world so i started parking it in our garage so it is blocked by another car i have to move to get it out... i guess partially due to this annoyance i purchased a '99 neon rt as a putt around car (just like i used to have when i was 18 woot)... recently a friend suffered a accident that put his car out service when the suspension came apart rather badly on the highway (the car is in crap shape ... he's not much of a car guy) so i gave him my '99 rt and took the broken '95 coupe partially in hopes that his life is not affected and partially since the '95 was a project car we had worked on for a long time and i did not want to see it get scrapped ...

i got the '95 road worthy but dam do i hate it, its just a bucket ... but i do not want to use the xf every day cause it will be damaged ... although i have snow tires ready for it so not due to it being a rwd car in jersey winters... just daily use type of damage like dings and scratches...

i have a option to give up the xf and take my brothers srt-4 (with no payments, i owe 7k on the xf) and then i can sell the 95 and have a daily driver that is not a bucket but i do not have to worry about like i do with the xf...

so really ... what i am asking ... would you give up a xf at the age of 23 knowing you worked your *** off for it and generated money out of thin air (i fixed and sold cars for major profit) to afford it ... or would you say forget about it and just go drive your nice car ?

the only disadvantage to driving the xf daily is i get stared at strangely by my uppers where i work ... i mean most of them i am sure think my parents bought it or something as they have no idea i pay for my own college tuition and car... this may be putting a damper on how well i can relate to them.

i would be interested to hear, especially from the older members, on how they would deal with such a situation (no offense meant to the younger members, but ya'll are probably as confused about this situation as i am).
