That is all the reason you need brother. There will ALWAYS be more cars out there to mod in the future. You're value's and dreams are all that matter and no one can tell you otherwise. We all hate to see the car go, but bellieve it or not, many of us understand.

I feel ya bro--but obsession is the making of many great things--If it werent for peoples devotion to thier art then we wouldnt have the many wonderful things in this world that we do.Would you say that Michealangelo was obsessed with his art if he wasnt what would his contribution have been.We just happen to love cars.I feel bad for people who dont have any one thing in thier life that they arent truly enamored with.They will never understand our appreciation for speed and power or whatever it is about cars we love.On this forum we feel like everyone is into cars but during my typical day I rarely meet a man who is into cars.We are really few and far between--My wife hates my cars too.That sucks.

how much are you gonna sell it for?

Eventually you'll be in a situation where you can pick up another ride and start the whole addiction process again.

You gotta respect him for putting aside his passion for his wife and kids. I'm sure he has a hot wife otherwise he would of cheated on her by now, lol.

well, I have a wife and 3 kids, but I have learned temperance in my hobbies (I have many ) my car remains mostly stock simply because I refuse to put anything else on hold to buy stuff for it. Right now I want more than anything else to put some LT's on it, but the kids need clothes, medicine, etc so I wait. I think the most important thing is to have what you want but temper it against what is important. For this reason it will take me forever to build my car, but at least I won't have to rebuild my marriage when I get done!

I feel for you and for you I think your probably doing the right thing if its causing problems or getting in the way of what you think is more important.
