Default please just take a minute and read my boosted catastrophe

I must have the worst luck just reply on what you think. Sorry its long but this is my memory.

I have been working for about a year on saving money and getting my hb right to go up to english town with some friends. I finnally get the car boosted but it isn't tuned yet (hondata s200b). the week before my vacation it is crunch time and Im trying to get my car tuned on a saturday and I leave to go up north on a tuesday to chill have and have some fun with the car that I poured everything into. on the way up to the dyno which was like six hours away in NC greensboro my cam seals decide to blow out on 95 half way during my trip to the dyno, I must have bought ang used about 12 quarts and I stopped every 30 mins to top off the oil. I somehow made it to the dyno without blowing my motor after the worst gut wrenching drive of my life. I was there for about 6 hours and somehow managed to find cam seals from some place in nc and took care of that I got on the dyno did my thing and made 236 and 178 @ 8 psi on my b16. I felt great my car was running perfect, car has never ran this good to me, so it is monday (memorial day) the day before I make my trip, I went to savvannah to pick up some decent sticky dunlop tires for my trip of course I didnt get them because the guy was not there were I had to pick them up so I said **** it and I was on my way home. the good part is coming, some bitch decided to hit her brakes so I mash my pedal and switch lanes I avoided her and I dont now how, now Im in the next lane sideways going 65mph spinning and I had to make a life threating decision. GAS or BRAKE, I hit the gas and spooled up and took off to the other side of the road and went in to a ditch and I rolled my baby twice.

bad ****** luck I made it out with just a few scratches and a raped HB.

my car addiction has almost costed me a divorce and many other day to day probs, but for some odd reason I want to do it agian. I built my car for this one good vacation and to try to get some good times and this all happened the day b4. is that Ironic.

There is harley n e front end damage though and all I can think about is building a monster ls in a EG and boost 25 lbs.

just voice your opinoin should I do it I will have the right funds and I just need to sell my old set up.

once agian sorry about the long post but I had to do it.

dump the wife. do you haggle her about shopping and ****? I hate that. women are tooo .. i dunno... BLAH and gotta interfere with everything

I mean seriously, how can a ******* car come between a marriage?? It's just plain out rediculous.
&lt;/rant&gt;

I say go for it. If the wife gives you a hard time, tell her to get a hobby besides bitching


&lt;-- single for 3 years straight, and have 0 regrets

remember the car may cause some problems, but unlike women it is rarely irrational. So I say go all out.

Leave it to a woman to give a man **** over an inanimate object!

"You spend more time with the car than you do me" - Response - "Yeah well the car doesn't bitch and whine about everything, oh what, you're mad now, go call your mother again!"

About the car, I say get back to it and go for it!

If rebuilding will get you a divorce, I suggest to not take the risk. But if your wife is alright with it. Why not?! Enjoy your hobby while you still have the time!

Dude it sucks that you rolled your baby. I've been in similar situations where people drive stupid around me too often. I say new project. Now if the wifey loves you she would support your decisions. Being a car enthusiast is a safe hobby, it's not like your dealing crack... or doing other stupid ****.

HAHAHAHA..... sooo true... better get a 5 point too, so ya don't crap open yer skull.

That sux man... I remember a while back, I had low tread left on my tires and spun out the EG while taking an on-ramp. I know the feeling... good thing yer ok.

Just tell the wife, "Listen, honey... I can spend the money on the car and be happy... OR... spend the money on the honeys down at the Strip Club and be happy... what you prefer ?"

X2 (Build it and boost it... my view on life)

Sorry about your luck.

Cars is a hobby, unless it's your occupation. I don't think it's worth a marriage, but that depends on how good the marriage is.
