I Think I'm Done

Thinking about selling everything. Dont feel good and since wife's income and pool boy gone money alittle tight. It was to be my last drag car, it's all I thought about the last 2.5 yrs.(maybe why wife boogied, hehe) Taking care of everything at home a little overwhelming and taking 27 pills aday to stay alive is tuff also(side effects suck) So I think I quit. I got about 60k and alot of work invested. Everything is brand new. I'll post some pics and list the parts soon. Yes I be sad, but the thought of going to florida in winter, beer and craigslist hookers cheers me up. Ed

Dont do it. Give yourself some time to think. At least 6 months or so before you sell it all.

Hookers?!?! Better to race.......

Boss, she's been gone for over 1 1/2 yrs.No biggie, just dicked me up money wise. Ed

Ed,
I know the feeling, but as others have said, give it some time. The truck will always be there if you want to race, the Craigslist hookers, not so much...

You do what you think is right, no matter what everbody think's you should do. Don't feel bad about it Brother im in the same boat. It Sucks, but i do agree keep a level head and hopefully thing's will turn around. That's all i can do right now . (Keep the FAITH SVTED) .

Thanks buddies, I dont mean to bum anybody out, but as Spock use to say, "it's probally the logical thing to do". Ed

If we all did what was logical then we would not be human and we would not have fun! (not trying to say your not human)

hang in there man. you have a kick ass motor, A motor i can only dream about having for now.

Hey ,Pick that head up and stop beating yourself up.We've all been down at one time or another.You.ve got good friends on here to help you through the tough times.Guy's on here seem to pull together when a loved one has past away,or just needs help.IMO I wouldn't sell just yet......We need guys like you on here so we can keep kicking the everlovin FU%&*%# shit out of those BB Chiebie Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Positive Faith Brother!!Michael

Just close the garage and take a break... I'm going through it as well. Mine will just sit until I get back around to it. No sense in selling it for pennies on the dollar just to pay a bill!

Mine will probably get packed into a trailer until I find another place to keep it... I'll walk away from it for awhile, but sell it hell no!

im in the same boat ...... im saving up money just to go to "1" race this year and that is the bash ...tough times for everyone ...just hang in there we are all here for you

I say don't do.

You got your combo together and paid for.

I'm been saving for years and no daylight as of yet.

If I had it I'd be hard pressed to sell it just my $.02.

heck if we weren't racing we would probably spend the same money either fishing or rv'ing or some other stupid stuff. I can't just sit at home but it sure is hard just throwing money away.

You just told my story, well, except the hooker part. I've been thinking the same thing, just tired,medicine dont work any more, cannot seem to get any enthusiasm about the car at all, etc, etc. I have been in this situation before and somehow pulled out of it. So maybe we can hang in there together untill it passes.
What you have now already paid for, doesnt cost or eat anything just sitting there. If you sell, you will probably not be able to replace it if you found you made a mistake.


"I have out lived my pecker" quote from Willie Nelson.

Thanks people. Got me thinking. Maybe just tone my chit down. Maybe I can find a builder that wants my engine and trade for a P-51 crate motor. I could get back out there alot sooner. (maybe next years bash) 8's are pretty quick. Probally could'nt pass the phyiscal anyway..

lets trade

Hehe, ya Nick then next year you'll be in the same boat as me. Ed

help i cant swim !!!

Being in the boat beats the water

Ed, every single one of us has gone through this (I'm selling everything) If you can maintain without selling everything great days are yet ahead for you. I'm glad I didn't sell nothing, it feels great to be back out in that garage everyday working on my p o s!!!!

But I also know you have to do what you have to do...GOOD LUCK!!!

BUT HERE IS A LITTLE EYE CANDY FOR YOU










and here are some of the things that was said about your truck!!

"Dam!! Thats nice"
"Damn man thats cery BAD AZZ man"
"Very nice looking project"
"Sweet azz freaking truck"

Damn you... Thank you.

Don't sell, if you do it's just a matter of time before the "itch" creeps back in and drives you mad because you were so close to being "there". Kick back, relax, and have some tasty food that's bad for you.

Ed there ain't much more I can say cause some of "our Brothers" have said it all ready. I've been through two divorces and ain't proud one bit about it. Yep it was and still is tough but I was able to put things "away" for awhile hoping to get a better/clearer vision of what I should do. And quite honestly when I did that I thought I had "that better/clearer vision".....but really I didn't and I'm glad I didn't get rid of my car or anything at that time and yes, it took me some time to realize that. If I would of off't my stuff back then I would regret today and I wouldn't have what I have today. Anyhow what I'm trying to say is give it some more time maybe 6 months...a year...two years then re-think it, if your able to let it sit that long. Good luck my friend

Keep your chin up Ed!

Come to the Bash to get some fresh air and alky/race gas fumes in your system. It'll heal whatever ails you!!!
