Default Decisions, Decisions

I bought my Accent in 98, used (it's a 95). It had about 67,000km on it when I bought it, now it has 193,000km. I have to use it in the winter now to drive to school which is an hour away. I have spent alot of money trying, and I stress trying to make it faster. Extractors, exhaust, intake, port and polished head, Tib TB, lightened Flywheel, and I think that's it. In the last year, I have had to spend alot of money on it, new rad, 2 new collant pumps, 2 new thermostats, new transmission, new engine, new heater core, blah blah blah. When we put in the new engine, I didn't bother putting the P&P'd head on the new one, and am debating on whether to sell it or not. I still have the exhaust, headers, intake, TB and flywheel mods still on. It's lowered also with Apex springs and KYB shocks.
I'm looking for some advice, should I continue to fix the few little problems on the car and keep it as a daily driver, for when I buy my new ride, or should I just sell it, buy my new ride, and a beater for the harsh winters here in Canada. If I keep it, I'm thinking of pulling the new engine out (which has 55,000km), ripping apart the block and re-building it to support turbo. I'm just debating whether or not it's worth the money. My new project will be WAY faster and will be fairly expensive. It's just that I have spent so much money on it in the last year on repairs, that I'm not sure if it is worth it to sell. I just keep wondering, what's next????:??:
It will be nice not being a student again in 3 months, living measly paycheck to measly paycheck.

It also holds somewhat of a sentimental value as it is my first car, and I bought it with the money I made on tour in Bosnia.

keep it that way you won't have to worry about finding a beater car, and you can just have fun with it.
