Do you ever just wanna buy something so you will have something to work on? I tell myself "NO, YOUR POOR! YOUR IN SCHOOL! BAD!" but I just cant help it. Im gonna give in soon.

Am I the only one?

You think you're poor now just wait until you buy a mustang or more parts. Then not only will you be poor but you'll find yourself ditching schhol to work on it.

yep, that's the way of it

i have a beer fridge next to the work bench and a shed full of crap that shouldnt be there because we had to move half the furniture in to make the house look nice so we could sell it and my 60x25' shed along with it. i cant move in there for junk. i desperately dont want to give up the shed but i'm sick of the house and I dont even know where to start with packing up the parts and what to throw and what to keep. the clock is ticking and we dont have another house to move to yet and SWMBO hates my guts becuase of it. I can hear the kids screaming in the background.

SO, I crank the jukebox on some loud and live ACDC, crack a beer, pull up a bar stool between the mustang and my GT Falcon and ponder how the f**k I can finish building the GT engine and still have change to put a 347 in the stang. The Fairlane needs a new diff and trans and the engine is tired but I could swap out the current 302 in the stang into that and the dear little old Austin 10 crapped the fuel pump and I cant buy new parts for it on the planet. I'd like to buy a whole new suspension, Brembo 6 spot brakes a bigger hairdryer and an exhaust for my Subaru. but that's another 10grand i dont have. Time for another beer??

in answer to your question baddog, it gets worse the older you get and the more responsibility you have to spend money on anything but cars!
