So, I have known for a long time that I have a problem. Cars... well... trucks too. And suv's. Basically anything with wheels, I love them. Yeah, we all do right? Sure, problem is I'm an impulse buyer also, so I have 4 vehicles right now and no real reason for three of them.

Chronological order I guess would make some sense.

1. 1977 Oldsmobile Starfire. Bought it running and driving with a "built 350 and 350 turbo" for $1000. Not bad, but it was a crappy 350 with a giant gouge in one cylinder so I tore the engine down and started buying parts to build a drag car out of it. (With an all iron 350 it weighed just over 2700 lbs) Fast forward 4 years. Now I have no engine in it, a 327 small journal block, forged crank, forged dome pistons, 220 cc intake runner pro top line aluminum heads and a few other misc small items.


2. 1951 Plymouth Cranbrooke. Slick old car, factory flathead straight 6, 3 on the tree, runs and drives. Body isn't perfect but from 20', it looks good. All I need to do to it to drive reliably is bleed the brakes. Only problem is, I have big, well giant plans for it. S10 frame swap, bagged chopped and channeled with LS1 or 5.3 auto powering it.


3. 1999 GMC Sierra RCSB 5.3 auto, custom paint, 20" wheels, slick looking truck, my current daily driver. Yet another one I have big dreams for, I can't stand driving it without making it faster. Two routes I have debated, nitrous and turbo. Going turbo will cost more, but power all the time, no bottles, blah blah you guys know the drill. Only issue is no matter what I do, a lot will need upgrading to handle the power. Gears/locker, headers if I don't go turbo, 4L80E with stall, cam, e-fans, the list goes on.


4. 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I just bought this last week because my truck does horrible in the snow, I had one exactly like it 10 years ago and loved it. (Same color, year, engine, trans, its my old jeeps clone) Well, the mod bug has bit again, now I am wanting a lift, new tires/wheels, bumpers, blah blah blah.


My truck is up for sale right now but I honestly don't want to sell it, I just know for me to keep it I will drop 3-7k in it that I will only get half back at the most when I do sell it. What should I do? So many options, too little cash.

So, basically I am on here just to get my thoughts out and see how many others have crazy issues with buying stuff they don't need!

 

I like your gmc except for the huge bug shield and grey front bumper. and this site doesn't help any when it come to addiction.

 

Yeah, I actually can't stand the entire front end on my truck. Ideally I want to change to an 03+ Chevy front clip but more realistically I will go with a painted bumper cover and different grille and no bug guard. If I take my bug guard off the front of the hood is chipped and too big of a gap because of a crappy aftermarket grille.

 

Personally I've always wanted a GMC so I could do a color matched denali front end.

 

I like that, I wonder how it would look with the bottom silver and the grille black, or something. Hmmmm....... My ADD strikes again!

 

Haha I feel your pain, although I don't usually buy vehicles I do buy completely random useless things. Like i hate walmart and part stores cause they take all my money haha
