I get bored and sell my projects. Honestly for all the money and time invested in a truck to get 12s, you could have a car in low 10s...

Well if you sell it you'll never get back what you have into it obviously, a lot of guys return their trucks to stock and sell them then sell the modded parts separately or install them on their next truck.

Thats what I'm saying. Money is hard to come by these days.

Its not that I don't like my truck, but would like to drive a car for a couple weeks. I guess this is a hard question to ask as its all up to the person.

Ive also thought about it and said that before, For the price of that street car that runs 10s you could have a bike in the 7s or a race car in the 8s or 9s. For the price of those you could have rail, for the price of that you could have a outlaw.. see just never ends imo..

In the end you have to stick with something and be happy with it or else you end up throwing quite a bit of money away and the cycle never ends..
