Default Prelude vs beater car

Tell me if this makes sense, or what you think is most sensible.

I have been paying on the Prelude for 3 months now, but I rarely EVER drive it for anything. To me it doesn't really seem worth it to have a nice car (it is a somewhat nice car, right? ) and not drive it. I've put almost 4000 miles on my two bikes. Would it make sense to maybe just sell it, and get a used civic or maybe a mid-nineties pickup or something? Having a car payment on a rarely-used car is sucking balls.

I figure also.. I'm only 19, do I really need to have a "nicer" car like that?

It'll come in handy once winter comes, which is just around the corner. I doubt you'll ride your bikes in the snow.

I guess a cheaper/beater would make more sense if you don't really drive alot.

Little less than KBB from a dealer. AKA too much.

That's what I'm keeping in mine, plus if it's raining real bad I don't ride either. I'm almost thinking maybe an old Ford truck or something. But then again, repairing something would be more than my monthly payments anyway..
