I dont dig into my reg. check to this, thats for the family needs.... thats why i've been working overtime this last month to try and fix my truck.... it should be up and running by the end of august if these OT hours keep on rolling in...

1986 Silverado RCLB

Truck - $2,700
keeping it running and not rusting - roughly a couple grand
anything serious - I haven't even started...

I've got ideas about a new motor, trans., limited slip and gears. Basically, a new drive train.

I was never going to add mine up but since the fire I had too, I have probably spent close to the most on here, I guess that makes me the biggest idiot
now I get to do it all over again.

I'm not gonna add mine up unless I need to but I'd say I'd be in the top ten in idiots on this site. It's not pretty to think, I know in mods alone I could of bought a new C6...add the price of the truck itself and it's a C6Z06 I'm looking at in my driveway. Only reason I haven't killed my self yet is I only buy something if I can pay for it then and there. Doesn't mean I don't regret it.
That would be a good poll...do you regret investing as much as you have or if you had to do it again, would you?

The money I would have spent (if I was younger and single) chasing women getting drunk goes into my truck.
