You need to concentrate on 1 car only and get rid of the rest. You are like me. Too many unfinished projects and none get finished.

Is this your horrible car?It looks better in pics
I think the reason i don't like it right now is the driver side seat springs are super weak, i'm going to pull the seat over winter and tighten them up (run a 1/4" rod sideways tieing them together) and pray i don't hurt the skin doing it

Awesome to have your own place
I paid mine off bout 3 months ago.. still stress bout money and everything though, i can't seem to not stress out.
That’s not my problem. My problem is shared space. It’s 15- 20 minute drive to it. Then I have to spend another 30 minutes running electric cords to a nearby building for just lighting. If I want to weld, that involves pulling the car out via tractor and moving to the other building 500 yards away that has 240. It’s just a mess. To get started working on anything takes at least an hour of prep. Plus an hour of putting everything back where it was. Add in family who have access and just toss random crap into the building and use the cars as storage benches… it’s frustrating.You need to concentrate on 1 car only. You are like me. Too many unfinished projects and none get finished.
All that should change by spring, if not sooner.
I’ve started a new side investment. If it holds and works out, I should have the funds to pay off my house in less than 7 years.Awesome to have your own place

no idea what those are... would be fun to play with though
Yeah. Once a shop with my cars right outside my bedroom door, things should move MUCH faster and smoother.

yeah, when i got my car i made a rule to only work on it when i felt like it and not force myself or i would hate it. soo.. took a lot longer. I added heat to my garage last year but only used it like once..
Oh I am not buying for sure. I like the year and convertible part. I agree about the rust
Couple things that I’m doing is bi-weekly mortgage payments, that helps control the compounding interest. That alone will pay a 30 year mortgage off in at least 17 years. Assuming you just split the mortgage minimum in half for each payment.
I’ve invested in a dividend paying real estate ETF, IF HUGE IF, it keeps paying out the dividends it’s been paying, in 7 years time, the value , assuming at least 5 percent growth over that time, will equal my current mortgage projected balance at that time.
Well Hoppy and Wife just headed up the road... Ray found out their dog needed to be picked up by 11am.......

Very nice.. and yeah my mortgage was like $890 and i was paying 2-3k a month.. just hammered it down but didn't save anything, owing money bothers me, had to get rid of it
Heat and AC are the two things I have to figure out for this yet. They’ll both likely come the following year, budget wise. I’m trying to stick very tight to the budget.
The 1/64th scale 70 Bee and the Paul Rossi Hauler should arrive today. My Westward Whiskey bottle arrived in Kansas early this morning. (1 am) and is supposed to arrive tomorrow. (UPS) I have gotten bottles from out west that go through Lexana in a day. My other order comes from Landover Maryland and has made it to Carlisle in a day. It usually takes 2 days for it to get here from PA.
Nice!! I finally got that 1/64 1978 d100 in red and white that Chris found on ebay
That's a good place to be.
