You'll get back to a comfortable place before you know it.right now she is borrowing her aunts Chrysler 300. In a few more weeks she will give it back and I’ll drive the Camaro she will drive the truck. Got a nice 14 Silverado also I bought new that will be paid off this year also which will help a ton. My car is still just bolt ons and is a great daily driver. But to throw more mods at it and beat the **** out of it at track this year woukd be pretty foolish right now.
she was driving an 02 dodge stratus. Water pump started leaking and then the fuel pump went out. It’s just a money pit at this point with 200k miles on it abd we are done putting money into it. The car is only worth 500 bucks anyways. And while I’m ******* with that thing I’m losiong money on other jobs I can make money on. I work on cars on the side with my grandfather aside from my regular job

Well now my gf car has broke down and all we have is my truck and my Camaro. She won’t have an income until at least late this year. I’ve got to stop the bleeding. I’m getting behind on credit cards and I cant keep racing my car and buying mods. Hate to say it but I really dont think I should come to the rental or do anything else to my car right now. It’s gonna have to be my daily driver this year while she drives my truck and I get caught up on bills. I’m just a middle class guy with a 60k a year job supporting everything while she goes to school. Two car payments and a house payment is killing me. The racing is gonna have to take a back seat this year. The records and chasing a time is going to have to take a back seat for now. It’s the only logical thing to do 
I couldn't imagine only making $60k a year and having two payments on some nicer newer vehicles plus a home. Add in company 401k to that and health insurance and your take home is a hurting unit.
Just don't cosign on a car with your gf and you are golden.
Dang, old fart.

Is she doing a very extensive program in school? Why isn't she working? I guess personally working full time while taking 15-18 credit hours a semester I just don't understand

i make an extra 10-20 on the side tax free mechanic work so I probably make closer to 80. But yeah it’s rough right now. After my truck is paid off and she gets a job I will be pretty well off
she has mentioned me co-signing but I steered her to her mom lol.
i put a decent amount down on both vehicles and house payment isn’t terrible. I’m getting by but I’m slipping a bit. I’m not gonna end up broke and way in debt

its not really cammed. and a MBO ls1 being within a mile of me would be a first. most disappeared out of sight behind me by the time i got into 5th.
there should be plenty of MBO ls1s at the track in Arab. i will be sure to post them in here. MBO ls1s generally run 8.2s at the track. and you just got elevated to the long ignore list. i dont have time for ******** shooting off their dick suckers.

nice. After my rear brakes and billet 15s I’ll be 129. Still waiting for vararam to come out. Gonna do a carbon trunk lid and lighter battery too. Just gotta get my moneys right. What I really need Is a trip out to cecil in negative da after I’m done. I’d guess 10.4 is possible stock converter suspension and gear on pump e85. Without totally destroying the car just basic WR like I have. I think these cars can hit 130 without going totally gutted no ac etc with bolt ons. I really missed out on the last rental and realized how much a faster track really helps. Even in similar DA most guys went .2 faster at Cecil. Must be downhill or something lol
