Default Can't seem to pull the trigger

Hey,

For 2 freakin years I've been trying to upgrade my car. I have all the parts, just need to install. But every time i get ready, something goes wrong. My septic system had to be replaced, the pool pump died, my garage roof needed fixing. Now my Buick needs an exhaust and I have cement work on my back room to do. I cant get a break.

Thanks for listening, I feel better now.

Welcome to the club! Focusing on your entire to-do-list can be overwhelming and discouraging. Deal with one issue at a time. Ignore the other situations until you 've knocked out one and then move on to the next.

it happens man, i had all the parts to completely rebuild my rear end, new 4.10 gears, new clutch and flywheel. when i had the cash for install i needed a new set of tires, right after i bought new tires i was layed off from my job. a month later i had to file bankruptcy and ended up losing my car. i ended up selling 2000.00 in brand new still in box parts for a whopping 600.00. and that was after 2 months trying to sell them.

hey man i know the feeling. i bought my blower about a year and a half ago and didn't get it installed until about 4 months ago. first my differential had to be replaced, then i was having problems with my clutch, then i had to use my "car" money for moving expenses. i was relieved when i finally got it put on, it sat in a damn box for over a year. it's frustrating having 400rwhp sitting in a box in your closet for a year, made it worse every day when i drove my car and realized how slow it was.
