thanks bluej. you explained it pretty well, i do like sorting cars out, but driving IS whats become more important to me. i dont wanna be the guy who misses all kinds of events because hes constantly trying to keep things running or is always working on his stuff lol. then i wouldnt get to drive... but as others have stated... i need to face the fact that school is whats most important right now. in fact, i just declared my major today and im feeling pretty good about my choice..
well, what'd you declare?! you can't just share that and not divulge! 
What college are you going to?
well, i havent exactly decided on whichc to keep, someone before stated that the civic SHOULD be the obvious choice since it still gets good mpg's, its not the funnest in the world to drive but it gets me where i need to go with some gusto and its a fun car when i have the room to drive it right on unused backroads where i can drive a line that will dial out understeer...
and i attend miami university (ohio not florida)
ive realized more and more just thinking about when im not at school and have nothing to do that no matter what im probably never going to be thrilled about a car. so whatever it is i choose, i should probably just stop complaining and start driving right, or setting up the car better lol
Or use that spare time to study next semester's topics so you can get ahead! 
+1 to you bluej
cxhb, you sound a lot like me. I've been driving for 13 or so years, and I've had 13 daily drivers. I don't care for working on 'em so much (I do my own maintenance, and bolt-ons are fun, anything beyond that I'd rather farm out), but I love driving 'em. I like learning how to extract the most speed of out a new car, and once I've plateaued once or twice with it, I get bored, and I'm looking for the next challenge. It's why I really like beaters. I can get in cheap, fix a few things, drive the pants off it, and sell it before I do enough damage to really drop the value.
Sure, it's more money in the long run than just getting one thing and hanging on to it, but where's the fun in that?
I do miss my SR5, but if I hadn't sold it, I wouldn't have found my Camry AllTrac, which means I wouldn't have blown up the motor in it, which means I wouldn't be in the process of having a 3S-GTE dropped in it.
Ebb and flow, man.
Ebb and flow.
I will admit that when I get out of racing for the winter season and crate up the mustang in the garage I have contemplated selling it. (and I have a severe attraction to this car, still the first car that was "mine") It is the withdrawal and general funk that drive me away and you read more into just what your spending on things like that and the time.
in short, sometimes the negatives surface over the positives when you have stepped back. I think anyone could make a logical case for getting out of cars and motorsports. It is a very money and time intensive hobby.
what you are going to find is that it is up to you to determine if this funk on the car and hobby is a temporary thing or something that will stick. We all can get into a funk for a few months at a time (and we students are even more susceptible to it, dont get me started on the funk chem classes got me in) Stress in your life will make you enjoy anything less.
I ended up getting out of my funk, getting the car set up better and have MORE fun with the car then I though possible.
that said, I have never "moved on" on a project vehicle yet, in fact i tend to own cars until they have pretty much no more usability.
