Help me decide what to do??

So here is the deal.
1>I got this clean 1997 3.2TL. I love this car, don't want to sell it anytime soon.
2>I just got this job for delivery of pizza and driving TL is not worth. As most of you know this thing drinks premium. 17 MPG.

I am not gonna be here on this job for long time, I think about 3 months.
3>Gas is down now so I think I won't have much trouble selling it now.

I only have 2 valid reasons to make up my mind to sell this one and thats not enough, wait I can have another one I am tired of driving auto I want 5speed manual

your thoughts??

are you willing to get a second job if it means keeping the TL?

If not, I say just get a beater that will only last 3 months.

If you only plan on working there for 3 months its not really worth selling the car.

If you do not need a 4-door, you can always get a first gen cl 5spd and then you can also stay on Azine too

, but buy a beater for your pizza job forsure

You shouldn't concern yourself about whether your TL is suitable for delivering pizza. You should ask yourself why the fcuk am I delivering pizza?

he said hes bored of auto so and he wants a 5 speed. Why dont you deliver pizza's with a TL then sell it after 3 months of driving it around and car with a manual tranny. Why get a car with a manual tranny and then put miles on it by deliverign pizzas when you wanna get rid of the TL anyways.
