It is, but once you get married and have kids, things do change. You will not want to spend 5 hours on a Saturday in the garage messing with a carb or trying to get a car running. Shit changes when you have a wife and kids but it changes for the better. ---

it boils down to this you retards, as you get older and move out on your own you have two options, either: A: use paycheck to do shit to your car that you might drive a few times a week or; B: pay the mortgage basically sums it up. for me i will one day have a car to actually wrench on besides your basic maintenence stuff, but that has been put on hold because i decided to dump almost all out our loot into our home…and a crap load of fishtanks lol ---

16k, multiple trips to NJ, WV, MD, DC, VA, NY, OH, Canada Been on a bunch more out of state trips so far this year and will be driving it to the LSx Shootout. And I don’t mind meeting up in a parking lot if friends are there, I could care less about what cars are out. ---

After reading all this retarded arguing in this thread, I feel pretty damn good about myself and the life I live. I find enough time for work, family and my hobbies. I have a wife and kids that willingly go to car shows and the races with me. I don’t live in my parents basement. I have enough money to pay my mortgage, comfortably support my family and buy stuff for my car. I never really felt like this was such a large accomplishment until I read the last 8 pages of senseless arguing and ranting. I don’t give a shit how any one spends their time, but it is possible to have a nice balance in your life. I’ll go back to lurking now. Thanks. ---

If half a day a week is too much time to have to myself then i probably wont get married. The whole reason i am in school right now thou is to take the steps i need to take to get a new job and be able to afford house payments, pay bills etc… etc… any girl that looks at my cars as equity can just keep walking… i built up my collection now so that when i got married it wouldnt take away from anything. ---

So let me understand this, if I don’t have a slow car, then I am irresponsible? My truck has had the shit pounded out of it for the last nine years/30k miles with little to no troubles on the street. The only major issue I have dealt with is the clutch, and that ain’t bad for this amount of time/miles. Sure it isn’t the fastest thing on the street, but it runs damn good for an old truck. I will also state that I didn’t build it cheap, either (I may have more in my motor/transmission than most have in a whole car). I probably could have gone faster for less $$ (actually most definitely could have), but who cares? If I can afford it, then I can do what I want. I enjoy it and that is all that matters to me. If I put every last dollar into my vehicle & let the mortgage get behind or my kid didn’t get fed, that is irresponsible. I know a few people who cannot put food on their table, yet still sit in a bar almost every night (most alcoholics would rather drink/smoke all their money away - at least I have something to show for my investment). I am not in any way against occasional social drinking BTW. I am talking about true alcoholics, and probably not anyone that would participate on an online forum. I can afford to enjoy my hobby, as well as put food on the table for my family. Therefore I will enjoy my hobby for the foreseeable future, as long as I can. > [@What torrent sites do u use?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-torrent-sites-do-u-use/42432/2): > > After reading all this retarded arguing in this thread, I feel pretty damn good about myself and the life I live. > I find enough time for work, family and my hobbies. > I have a wife and kids that willingly go to car shows and the races with me. > I don’t live in my parents basement. > I have enough money to pay my mortgage, comfortably support my family and buy stuff for my car. > > I never really felt like this was such a large accomplishment until I read the last 8 pages of senseless arguing and ranting. > I don’t give a shit how any one spends their time, but it is possible to have a nice balance in your life. > I’ll go back to lurking now. Thanks. Agreed completely. I also Agree with Mike (Quik83Z). Just because you get married, doesn’t mean you give up all your personal interests. If you do, then shame on you. A good balance of hobbies/family is a must.
