Trust me, a newer stang crosses my mind a lot! But, I would run into the same problems in the winter (although I really get around fine, it just makes me nervous). And, I would want to start making a newer Stang faster, which means more money.
And, I know it is smarter for me to just wait until I finish college and then buy a new Stang. Which is also another reason to keep my current one. It is very reliable, and if things go well, I will have my engineering and marketing degrees in two years and will be entering the working world. I can then afford something else and the resale value of my current stang won't mean as much then.
Tough call. Most of my friends are graduating right now and buying new cars, so it is just feeding my desire for something else. But, since I have decided to pursue the second degree, I am stuck in school a while longer with limited funds.
