Mourning a car?

My 2012 Fiat 500 sport is officially at the end of its life... And i feel so sad. it's taken me so far, I have learnt so much on that car. It was the first car I bought under my name by myself, I learned how to drive manual in it, how to do an oil change, change a clutch, battery, ground wires, etc. But it has become unreasonable to keep. I sank a lot of money in it in repairs, cosmetics, and upgrades. I've had it for 4 almost 5 years. But it broke down 4 times in the past week. I fixed the problem each time but it feels like 3 more problems pop up. It is a constant battle. The car is paid off. but I love it so much...

I have cried at the thought of letting it go but i really cant keep up with all the expenses, each part has to be shipped from italy and its so expensive, and it takes up so much time fixing it. Its my daily driver and I dont have a second vehicle... Public transport is ass in America.

When I move to Serbia my gf said we can look for a fiat there... It just wont be the same..

Does anyone else get like this? is it normal to mourn a car? Every car I've had to trade in/sell I've always been hit so hard, it takes me weeks to months to get over...

I looked at a 2019 6 speed subaru impreza  a 2007 WRX and a subaru Baja (automatic tho)

I have always had good luck with my subarus. My subaru 2011 I had for just over 200k miles. I think it's time i go back... It's going to be hard, especially with how the car market is, and trying to find a manual in decent shape. Also trying to get over my poor little fiat.
