Looking for a spark of Motivation!

Sounds familiar...
My dad "gave" me a 409 Impala when I was 14. Said you get title when you're 16. got a job and bought thousands in parts. 16 came and said not til 18. same thing kept working on car buying parts etc.. 18 came not til you 21. Threw towl in until 21st b-day. Showed up at house with car trailer said i'll take car when I get title. He threw a fit, screamed/hollered/ threw stuff. got title and car was loaded. I restored the car and had it about 12 years or so then sold it about 9 years ago.
looking back, between 18-21 is when I got hooked on Mopars. Bought a couple of Chargers, a Chally and a Scamp. I went back to that car cause by that time I had well over $12,000 invested into the car. If you are in a position where you can cut your losses and get another car, it might be worth it. ( It would have been for me) then again, you are the only one who truely knows the situation.
Good luck!
