Although the car “scene” here really does nothing for me cars always will. So I hope you are saying shifting away from the “scene” but not “cars” in general. :tup: to selling since I don’t like them lol. ---

I wouldn’t call that leaving the scene / cars as much as reprioritizing money. nothing wrong with that once and a while - it’s not like you’re selling off everything fun. ---

What car scene? I own cars for me not to impress the local 19 year olds and hang out in parking lots. It would make more sense if you stated “I no longer find cars fun” [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turned-this-into-a-sack-of-cash-sold-car-debt-free-2011/159563.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/turned-this-into-a-sack-of-cash-sold-car-debt-free-2011/159563.md?page=3)
