I would have just waited and enjoyed my car. School has always been first, car second. When I first bought my car I could pop off 12.8's. Then I demodded to buy the turbo kit - ran into problems, went back N/A while I gathered more parts & money. Damn car would/could not break a 13.5 when running it n/a again. Get the turbo together and more shit breaks when I think it's done.
Honestly I would have just put all my money towards school and graduated faster then try to do both. My car will run right this year and I will graduate too but it has been nearly a 3 year battle ( for the car) that nearly made me leave the scene.
