    I have only ever sold a car in the black once anyway, at least with hotrods or sports cars. It is very hard to not go upside down with cars unless it is a business and even then it seems like a trick. That being the case I think that performance/enjoyment trumps the bottom line in this case. Of course there has to be a balance so you don't loose your shirt but it seems like you are remaining frugal with it.
