Losing interest in the hobby

I'm doing a lot of thinking lately and am seriously considering getting out of the hobby completely. I have my Dart up for sale with the intent to move onto another project car that I have, but it's looking like I may end up letting both cars go. I was really looking forward to building the other car but have had to put it on hold as nobody is showing any interest in the Dart. If I can't sell the Dart I can't keep them both so the other car will have to go, which kinda sucks because that's the one I wanted. I've had no desire to drive the Dart at all & just got my licence renewal in the mail today & am considering not renewing this year. I've always been a hardcore car guy but the past couple years I've been losing interest more & more all the time, & I'm to the point right now that I wanting little if anything to do with cars. I hate to see my 73 Dart (which is virtually rust free) sit and turn into a rust bucket but it's looking like this may happen. I'm not looking for any sympathy or anything like that I just need to get this off my chest & find some reason to stay in the hobby.:banghead:

I went through that myself about 12 years ago - sold several project cars and related parts. Part of it was I was getting out of control with my buying and taking on projects...at one point I had 5 cars that had been torn down and needed alot of time and money to make drivable again. The rest of it was I was just getting more interested in other hobbies, and cars seemed less and less important the more I got into other things.

In hindsight I should have just taken a break and held onto everything, or at least focused on one car at a time, and sold one or two of the lower priority cars to get my favorite car done. Cause here I am years later wishing I still had those cars and parts...lesson learned I guess.


My advice - set it aside and take a break. Don't sell.
