I felt like that a year or so ago. But now I am having too much fun doing new stuff to it. Yea it has started being a money pit and i keep telling myself only a few more things then i am done. Of course a few more things ends up being a page long of things but hey, it's my hobby, i enjoy it. I am not here to outrun anyone and could care less if i am the slowest truck on here. It gives me something to do. My truck has been down for almost 2 months with a broke 60e. I get the tranny back friday and i can't wait to install it.
