    lol I am a tad afraid of Ash! :p I try.... but I can't stop spending time on it. That seems to be the big issue. I'm always tinkering on something... It's a material possession that I've become way too attached too.
    Dang.... :(

    Yeah, I know..... But if my truck is just sitting there I CAN'T be satisfied. I'm a perfectionist..... and I can't leave somehting that's not perect alone.

    Also, I'd like to go into a business venture with my dad next year to prepare for the future, but it requires a lot of money, so I need modify my life style and where I spend my time/money. I have to think about getting ready for a family since I would like to be married here in the next few years... which means making sacrifices in the mean time.

    But there is no doubt in my mind that I will build up another (done right) truck (hopefully tacoma) that'll put the green dragon to shame in the future!!! ;) Just have to set my priorities in line right now. My dream would be to have someone buy it, roll it in 5-10 years or so after barely being driven at all, and then I could buy it back! (wishful thinking though...)

    Hey perfectionist.......if you get some other hobbies then you wont have to spend so much time on it. Go rock climbing/backpacking/cycling/shooting/whatever. Keep it, you might never get it back.

    *sigh*..... I already have a ton of hobbies!!!! hahaha I need to cut out the ones that cost a lot of money and are mostly for fun. Such as off-roading, paintball, airsoft, and shooting... One hobby I'd like to keep is SAR. And while it can cost a bit of money here and there, it is miniscule in comparison to the others and it has a much more honorable purpose... ya know? I've been too selfish for the past couple years.

    I can understand that Silas. But just remember, you won't get even close to gaining back all the money you spent on it.

    also, dont get married:D

    Just kidding, good luck. Make sure you bring your new beater police crown vic with 400k miles and a welded diff wheeling with us.
