Ok to start out I love my car. Sure it is not a show car but I think you have to drive it to really appreciate it.

My cousin is really wanting me to sell my car and bye something "better". He thinks my car doesn't run (Which sometimes it doesn't) and he thinks it's not worth owning. Should I sell and buy a different car or what? He has an 87 300z and I would like one, but I don't have the money and I like my car. He does not think that my car is reliable.

I was also wondering if a bent spot in the rim would make the car not safe at highway speeds.
thanks

 

I guess it depends on what is wrong with the car. What do you mean when you say it sometimes doesnt run? If it's relatively minor (or if it's not, and you really like the car) I'd keep it. Quit listening to others and listen to your heart.
Just my 1.5 cents.

 

If he's driving a heavy pig of a 'sports car' like an '87 300ZX and advising you on what a good car is...

well, take advice as being as good as it's source.

 

I thought it is kind of ironic how he tells me my car doesn't run, when his now won't run. He has a bad starter

 

karma is funny that way.

Just don't let his karma run over your dogma
