My Turbo E30 thread, ABORTED. info on page 7, post 170.

Well, I’ve been thinking long and hard over this past weekend…

Lately I’ve been going through a pretty tough time with everything I have going on in my life.

I feel as if I’ve been making this car a priority and paying my bills when I can, which is obviously very very backwards and very very wrong. I actually sacked up this weekend and went out and had a great time saturday night and sunday afternoon. I enjoyed myself completely for hours without a thought of my e30.

After I got home from both things, it made me realize that a car shouldn’t be taking over my life and doing what it has done to me.

This is probably one of the biggest and most heartbreaking decisions of my life thus far, but I think I may need to sell the project and straighten out my life.

Because of this project I’ve accumulated almost 3k in debt, in a parts car, bills and I still need to pay a way overdue speeding ticket to save my license from getting suspended.

I really enjoy working on this project but I don’t think I have the heart to keep putting money into this car and making myself suffer. I was looking at pictures of my talon and I realized that it’s just not worth it to build a car this early in life with such a low paying job.

I REALLY enjoy driving my GTI, and I’ve been neglecting many things with that car, and I think it would benefit me more to do the things I’d like to do to that car, rather than to pursue this project.
I have more than enough speeding tickets and points on my record, I can’t afford more, or to completely lose my license because of a fast car.

If you’ve taken the time to help me with the car, or added insight to this thread and have read this post in it’s entirety I really appreciate it.

I think its best for me to worry about my schooling, and my future before I take on a project of this magnitude. I got in deep real quick and I just don’t want to not enjoy myself because I have an abortion money pit sitting in the garage.

In the very near future there is a very good possibility of a HUGE e30 part out, everything must go from this to get myself back on my feet and hopefully get back to me feeling like myself again.

Stress over the past few weeks has owned me and made me completely broke and miserable.

:frowning: It really upsets me to have to do this…
