Live and learn, good excuse to go and test drive something fancy and see what thrills it gives you. I live by the rule that if i think i should sell a car i ask myslef, "would i buy another one" if the answer is yes then i just keep it, what's the point in stressing after it's too late and going thru the hassle of finding another one that will probably be fcuked and never live upto the old blinkered views of the last one you had. Just take comfort in the thought that it's probably broken down and some poor sod has probably spend a small fortune mantaining it, with any old/classic car, chances are that's true.
