TA is for sale.
I think its just a part of life man . Things change , People change , Interests change .
The car scene has pretty much died off and people moved on . Its hard as hell to stay
motivated and keep dumping $$$ into a car and expect the enjoyment to sustain .
Best of luck LSWHO hopefully you can find something you can enjoy

All I can say is I sold my first 95 z that was really nice, and 4 years later I am starting over with a tired 95 z that needs a full resto....... I saw my car, well actually heard it and then saw it a year after I sold it...... It was the saddest day ever!! 
^lol , i agree when you get to a certain point its hard to keep dumping money into something , i always say 5 grand more and im done , well after the 5 i say it again lol,i hope after the next round of mods im done for awhile, i really need to get some other things taken care of.after looking at the new gmhtp i really would like to build a short bed truck, i think im falling more in love with those then i am with my ss, i guess there are car guys that can get out of it and then there are ones that cant, im one that cant i guess lol,but i agree with everyone 3rd gens are total junk, and the gto is a cool dd imo
Good luck with the sale. Seems like these cars are selling easier now than they were a year or two ago.
As for the replacement. If I were getting something newer with 4 seats it would be a g8. The gto's are nice, but you can't beat the comfort of a nice sedan.

I'd love one, but not for $30k. Maybe for $17ish.

Im in the same situation currently. After selling my last project 6+ years ago, and ALWAYS wondering where that car is and what it would look like today...im sticking with it. 5 years from now this car could be a beast. Never know what the future holds with lt1 aftermarket, everyone seems to be attacking the opti and sooner or later it will get a good, cheap, aftermarket ignition system that someone will come up with.
Id get a 88-91 GTA over a gto. But id also get a civic or corrolla or camry as a daily driver with the GTA. Been seeing alot of GTA's forsale.
Ive said it befor and ill always say it. The absolute BEST mod you can make to your v8 fbody, is a 4cylinder daily driver. No longer do rattles **** me off, no longer does it bother me if something is leaking, no longer does it bother me if its broken. I drive the daily driver and wait to fix it. And when it runs, You enjoy it for what it is.

and (sry to bring it up again but) as for the third gen/ 4th gen deal, i own a 91 formy and a 95 firehawk... it's hard to imagine parting with the hawk, but i'd almost sale it before the 91. third gens are much slower and, with the exception of the later years (like 90-91), are more poorly assembled. however, the shorter dash, split instrament panels, flatter console, and overall feel from the inside of the car looking out makes for a much more fun driving experiance imo. Besides, look at what Hawks is doing with the turd gens... it'll make you think twice
