probably not. But it sounds like you have invested a lot of money in it so keep it and take to college with you and at least you don't have to make a car payment.

You might as well flush your money down the drain.

5 years from now, your car wont be worth 25% of what its worth today.

Most of the things you did to it didn't increase its value at all, or if so, only 5-20% of what you spent.

A non stock 1998 Honda Civic will never be considered a collectible car. Even if you do hold onto it for forty years. If it was completely stock maybe, but customized cars are never considered collectible.

People are stupid, ignore them. A honda civic will probably keep running forever so has a comparatively high resale value although it's unlikely to ever be a classic car
