My car has been put on the back burner due to remodeling my house. I spend more time in my house than I do in the car. It's where I eat, sleep, watch tv, etc. When I first got my car, I wanted to do H/C/I, exhaust, etc, but now, I'm at the point where I like being able to drive it during the spring, summer, and fall without having to worry about it breaking. I had it at a track once last year and I was scared the entire time that it was going to break. Where would I come up with the money to fix it? I think I'm not taking it to the track anymore until after I'm done working on the house and have money to throw at the car if something breaks. I'm just going to enjoy it as it is. My house has become more important.
I tried the bike thing for a year. I enjoyed the freedom, but was scared to death of other drivers. So, I gave up on the bike idea.
