Random pictures and my dilema.
I recently got engaged. I am working 2 very low hour part timers. I finished up my classes at Oregon State University this summer, still awaiting my actual diploma. My fiance has a couple more terms of school left. We are thinking we will get married in Hawaii this September.
The point of this thread is to tell all my Mustang enthusiast friends that I am going to not give in to the urge of saving money specifically for wheels. I will be saving for a house instead. I know in my heart that it's the right thing to do, but I know in my dreams that my Mustang really wants new shoes.
I KNOW I am making the right choice, it's just very hard for me to NOT save money for something I have been dreaming of since I bought my car over a year ago. Sorry, I just needed to vent a little haha. At any rate, I really hope we both have full-time careers when she graduated this summer so we can get our first place. BTW, I am 22, she is 23.
Here is a quick picture of us In Catalina Isle. late this summer.
My pops' 1955 Nomad Wagon. Built SBC, all chrome, 17/18' Foose wheels, ps, pb, the whole 9. It's a show car that we drive, a lot!
A couple of my car. I need springs and wheels/tires bad!

Youre car is a clean car man. It doesnt NEED wheels...just springs but seriously man, way to make the best decision. At this point, i dont think id make the right call about that one...good thing i have 5 1/2 more years of schooling ahead of me to mature me enough to make the right call in that situation.

Thanks guys. I feel like it's honestly a big decision on my part. A lot of my friends and or other 22 years old guys with money burning a hole in their pocket wouldn't think twice about getting parts. But I know what's important in MY life and it's definitely establishing a home and career before I go spending my hard earned money on "material" things as I would refer to them as. Well, to be completely honest, material or not, anything top make my car better, makes me better. It's a part of myself and my lifestyle. It speaks for who I am. Happy Holidays guys, you all rock. I am so glad can come here and speak my mind and have some fun with good friends (who I weirdly have not met haha). We will all meet someday!

Thanks man. Yeah, that's definitely the plan...save for a home, then save for wheels, suspension, cams, and other goodies . Random question, but has anyone on here ever gone through the FHA for a first time buyers home loan? I have looked it over and you are able to put as little as 3.5% down if you qualify. Seems good to me if a guy could afford his mortgage.
