like most people here, i love working on my own car and try to do as much work myself as possible. i’m currently doing body work on my civic before i sell it and even though its taken some time, i’m slowly getting it done. so i have no problem with spending time on getting something the way i want. the problem with this is that i feel overwhelmed with the amount of work required, and since i’m going to be finishing up school next year and dont have a baller job, my time and money is pretty limited.

you know the feeling when you just wanna get your hands dirty and work on a car from the bottom up? you just wanna rip off everything and start fixing shit up? thats the reason why i ended up with this, but i’m gonna try to get rid of it and buy something thats a little more reasonable on repairs for me personally. i’ve been getting that from a lot of people, and as much as id try to make it work, one step at a time should be a better idea.

I can tell you this… At some point. With ANY car… You WILL feel overwhelmed… It’s part of doing what we do…  
i feel it everyday that I look at my car… I got fucked over on my car. I got fucked REAL BAD… But I keep working on it when I have time…  
It pisses me off everyday, just to drive it, to look at my rotting quarter panel (now plural), or listen to the stupid fucking KA…  
But I digress… I keep it. I work on it. I learn from it. I bitch about it. I learn some more… And quite frankly that’s what I love it and probably won’t ever sell it.
