I don’t get All hairy about spending money, that’s what I have it for. I resolved myself years ago that I just like Mopars, I wake up in the morning and check in here, or on FB, to the many Mopar sites I’m part of. I’ll pull junk parts cars out of the weeds, work on them in the winter to seek parts to fund my own projects. I drive a 2012 Ram daily because I need a truck. Money spent is all relative. I need to get to work, I buy gas. The truck gets 14mpg, I don’t care. It gets me there and back and has a cup holder for my coffee. When I get home, it’s all Mopar. I’ll spend countless hours on junk cars, removing good parts to sell for 1/2 of what they’re worth, to make a few hundred on the car. So what? I love it, my labor is free, and I love doing it. My payoff is jumping into something I really want to drive, and going somewhere in it that I really want to go. If I can do that for $20 in gas, I’m happy. If I spend $40 for race fuel, it’s because I want to, and I like the smell. There is no investment concerns with me, I spent the money to have them, I earn the money to fix them, and I drive them because I love them. Simple formula, it works for me!
Here’s my job today, working on parts from scrap cars, cleaning and inspecting them, and putting the best sets together so someone who needs them can buy them and have decent parts for their car.
