for a year atleast. Got ya!

I'm just tired of being in debt. From school, to my credit card and personal loan. This is the year I'm finally putting my foot down. As much as I love the Tiburon, being debt free is more important to me. I have alittle over 7,500 to pay off this year, and I'm pretty much hell bent on doing it. The Tiburon would just take up more finances for tires, inspection, and insurance.

Anyone else have the feeling?

heh, i know how ya feel. im pretty deep in the debt hole, especially after the move down to ABQ

i think i am around 8300 in the hole at this time.

if it was easy and i had the time/patience, I would put my car pack to n/a, sell all my boost parts and call it a day. Although I don’t have enough time/right tools or any of my stock parts to put back on.

I can relate. I have an alpine sc that has dust and cobwebs. It would put camrys to shame lol. I will not pay for 93 fuel because gas $ are ridiculous. I want to starve the life out of my car as long as I can because when I get older I won't love, afford, or have time for hobbies. Now the hobby will be with me even when I work.

I'm going to sell the supercharger to a better owner and use my car as the daily/florida driver like I have been using it. Its not worth giving your work of passion up for some pontiac, but corvette yes because then you wouldn't be here writing this smile.gif

Im doing anything I can to keep my hobbies going and get out of debt. Im selling the RD1 for a cheap accent for now to help with school and then just staying on my payments and doing extra when I can. Im hoping to put a dp on a house by the end of the year. Im done with school in July.
