Default How do I:

Make it through the off-season without going completely insane????????

Last year I did it by spending a metric ****-ton on the race car. This year it is for sale and I am even more broke so I can't do that.....

HELP!

You could spackle the den.
Martinize your shorts.
Eat olive loaf till you puke.

uhh, what was I saying? Man. Gotta go get some carbon monoxide in my system again.

I would venture to say that it is more than some full time jobs pay annually.

oh yeah, a metric ****-ton is variable from person to person. the way you figure it is to take what you can afford to spend, double it, add three good dinners for your significant other, then add the value of your first born, then spend it twice! that is a metric ****-ton of money. (repeat as necessary!)

Crashing your truck is a fine way to pass the time. Drive a cigarette-smelling Dodge Stratus around for two weeks while you watch the resale value of your truck plummet. When you're done, whittle away the spare hours by writing ever-larger checks to the insurance company.

I give crashing out of five!
