It’s not growing up when you’re blowing through it on random purchases. You should atleast drive what you’ve bought for awhile. Granted, it’s just an S14. I’d drive it year round.

Sell the S4 by the end of summer. Finish the TGP with a GT28RS. Make any progress on the Camaro worth noting, and clean up the paint on the Supra.

i’d rather just put cars on the shelf, pay off the daily, get my Ph.D., and get something factory that I can afford without mods that i’m happy with. Mods fuck up perfectly good cars a lot of the time and i’d rather just get something out-of-the box that I like

my Firebird will be treated to a heads/cam package, I havent decided on the specifics yet but something of a budget build…  
also some lt headers/different exhaust and 3.73s will be in order…  
It will also need a dynotune, think I will look into New Era

And maybe, just maybe a 100 shot

I would like to run mid to low 11s NA and spray to mid 10s…

The OG’s are getting older, haha.

Just kidding Bret, I feel the same way. I mean, I still got some plans for my cars, but they are very few, and the maintenance is something I’m more focused on now. I got too many other priorities, haha.
