    They say the first step is to admit it...so here it is :D

    My entire life revolves around my truck and here's why:

    I spend time at work on TW looking up DIY's, new mods, GB's, and classifieds.
    I'm constantly making sacrifices like skipping meals to save money for mods.
    I perform at work based on how much money I need to make on my next paycheck to pay for a mod/mods I have in mind.
    I work Friday nights from 10:00pm to 4:00am so I don't have to work Saturdays because I need to work my truck.
    I skip class once in a while to save gas for off-roading on the weekends.
    I opened a bank account nicknamed "Fiona"
    I already have my next 3 bonuses accounted for mods.

    Plus a million other small things I do during my normal day...anybody else got it this bad?? :(

    After seeing TacoDanny's truck again last night at the meet, I'm determined to get a Demello 3-hoop as my next big mod after I install my Icon CO's. His truck is EXACTLY...down to the T...what I want my truck to be some day.

    I forgot to mention I've brainwashed myself into not being in a relationship because I don't have the time or money or attention needed to carry on a successful one.

    I think i have a minor case of this also.

    Before TW: tool box, floormats, ladder racks = about $1000
    After TW: full soundsystem, full suspension, wheels, tires soon, grill, bumper, other random stuff = about $5000

    And i havnt even been here a year yet...

    ^^Yeah I've been here for 6 months and I've already spent over $6000.

    Let's put it this way...Week vacation away from work and school to Hawaii....or full armor+skids.

    I'll take the armor+skids and go to my local beach, stick and umbrella in my Coor's light.

    Good for you to be able to work that much, go to school, and work on your truck. I would say your tacomaworld disease is well justified.

    See thats why its good to not have a girlfriend or wife sometimes. Next week in going away with the girlfriend, probably ganna end up spending around $1000. I would love to be able to have that extra money for my truck. But then again shes worth it. Kinda wish i was dating fiona...
