Yea! on getting a new bike!
I still have my first road bike (trek 1000), but it was not really "sell"-able because it was wrecked but still ride-able.
I like having it for bad weather rides, back up when the other is in the shop, a bike to share with a friend (of a similiar size). I've gotten a little playful with it by doing things that I wouldn't do to my "real" road bike, like putting silver streamers on the handlebars
