I wouldnt be strapped for cash at all if it wasnt for this car... honestly, I make good money for my age I guess, and I work a ton, sometimes 7 days a week but usualy 6. But this car god bless her sucks all of my money away and I am doing a budget build to ever extent of the word. but after food, gas, insurance, and parts, Im back to broke... Im not complaining here, if I didnt like the way I lived I wouldnt put the money into my car, I def think it is worth it. and the pay off will be great, in about a month I will be having 10 pounds of fun!
