Default Getting tired

Tired of always looking for money to make my car better. Tired of having a POS GM car. Tired of garbage quality. Considering selling my berd and just walking away from the car scene.

Maaaaan!! You konw you're not going to sell it you're just sick not having any money at the moment to mod it.. It sucks being on that side of the fence and trust me I've been there.. Just keep on going and don't give up.. There has been plenty of times all of us have thought about getting rid of our cars and THANK GOD we didn't..so keep your head up bro it will all come together.!

Sell it and buy mine. Then you'll have a M6 with low miles and already tastefully modded

Didn't you just go through this with your 78? I don't know I had the kids and ended up getting rid of my daily and my Cobra and bought a Charger RT and didn't mess with it for a year..I went a little crazy and now look at me, a trailblazer ss for a daily and two project firebirds I mean if you don't obsess about your car then what else are you going to do??

I'll trade you a 97 roller and some cash

Um ok. Explain yourself. What exactly is garbage? Other than the 10 bolt and the early opti sparks, GM has put out a solid product. You said it runs like an ape, but yet it's GM garbage? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you are simply upset because you don't have the funds to make it what you ultimately want. We've all been there buddy. It takes time.

I have come close to selling my ss a couple of times but I'm glad I dident. I am in the process of getting it running right again and adding a few and redoing a few of my mods. The outcome will hopefully be a car that runs correctly and puts out an extra 30 or so HP. If I'm real lucky ill get my truck sold and ill buy a new set of heads for mo powa. But anywAy I'm glad I dident sell it when times were tough. I got thru it with my car and I'm gratefull

Thanks Joe :/ I feel so beat down lately. U think the full time everything did a whack job on me, ontop of the exes. Decisions shape and mold who we are. I have just felt like crap lately. For some reason, my lethargic feeling old burnt out *** is crawling under this car to fit h the stock stuff and install the Magnaflow catback. My spirit just feels broken. It's a long story, do I don't wanna gay up the forum with years. Thanks

Sell it if you're on hard times. Always other cars in the future and these F-bodies are getting a dime a dozen.

Financially, romantically,emotionally spiritually .....u get the picture lol. So I put the at up for sale but after a couple weeks I decided to just hold on to it and I'm glad idid. I'm having a good time putting new parts on and every thing It has just been sitting in my garage and it looks better now than it ever has I waxed and polished the **** out of it lol. But ya, times are hard then they get better

I've got a broken rib too. Hehe. Exhaust work on the ground sucks. Last week I was moving a washer downstairs and ate it right in the lower rib . It's broke. I'm gonna hang on to the bitter end. Thankfully, I have no debt. No ties at all. Just 4 payments on a beater rig. Trying to build credit. Thanks Joe. It's embarrassing how much cash I make. Had this convo with SSsteven this week at work. Hopefully, something gives.

Clean, straight, low mileage 01-02 WS6 are far from a dime a dozen. Camaro's on the other hand....

Yeah. It took me a while to find her. Bagging a nice WS6 is not an easy chore. No pun intended on Camaros. Gawd you'd think it would take a year to hire me on and save my life.
