Hmmm...the fundamental issue with answering is that my FC is part of myself. To take the money and run means that I'd killing part of my own person. I've owned the car for 11 years, it is my first car. Nothing could ever replace it unless, say, I was to use the parts to build an exact copy (if, for example, the body was totalled but I could get another body and rebuild the car). However that's not a parameter here as if taking the money one could never own another FC. So even if I took the money, I would always miss the car; in this case money does not buy happiness. My answer then is probably "no".
I think that's the most elegant way to put it.Thinking about giving up the car... I don't think I could do it, even if someone managed to convince me to go through with the offer, I'd probably breakdown and start crying as they were picking it up and back out of the deal..

^ Yeah seriously. You know and for me I don't have just one FC... I have 4 (owned 8) and it's like is it worth losing a part of me for 1million dollars? Maybe? lonno lol.
FCs to me are like a family dog. They are part of the family BUT it's just not quite the same as an actual human family member.

If I would take the money and buy some other rotary beast I would always be thinking of my fc while driving it and what could have been. The fc is what I've wanted since i was like 12 years old and I finally have one(albeit unfinished and not running, I finally have it at 25) It would be the death of a dream. An end of an era. It would be like quitting. I'm not a quitter! NO YOU CANT TAKE MY FC AWAY YOU #@%&! .....sorry got all emotional. Can't do it. I would keep my fc

Yes, just to have a business and doesn't rape people's wallet. If i can't ever own one again, i will be happy building any FC that is tailored to each and every customer.
I think of it like a fleet of FC's that are all different from your own closed imagination, drift, drag, autox, show, dyno queen, top speed, time attack, and others. The smiles and looks on customers faces would be worth it.
But if the bet was never to drive one again... i would rather be broke and happy then rich and suicidal lol

No. My fc is totaled. I never reported it to the insurance company as I wouldn't be able to buy it back. At the risk, no wait... I'm going to sound like a huge homo. My car is a part of me. It doesn't feel like a part of me or my family; it literally is. Though this is probably the sign of some mental disorder. If it feels bad, I feel bad. If I'm thinking about something or in trouble; it knows it and also starts acting funny. Example, its engine was blown. My brother drove it for a year, I drove it for another on bad coolant seals. Hadn't moved it in about three weeks, 0 compression. GF destroys me, friends say I'm being emo. Go out to my car, crank it, crank it... Stutters. Fires up. Smokes like hell. Drove it 73 miles with steam rolling out of the coolant res. It knew I needed it. I'll never get rid of it, because I'd probably die with it....

Yep, sell it, buy an FD, turn it into a widebody drift car with a 20B, and buy a Datsun 510, slam it, get some work equip 01s, paint it and call it a day. Oh yeah, sell my house. Buy a better house with a 2-3 car garage. Yeaaaah!
Or option 2, build an FD drift car like in my first choice, except with the rest of the cash, I'd build a race/drift track here in Colorado Springs seeing as we don't have one and try to make profit off of that.
