Gone overboard

[race-a-holic]

I swore years ago when I got my banshee that I wouldn't charge a credit card unless I had the money.I started out this time on my current build to spend some money but I had no idea what I was fixing to do.Keep in mind,I am the only one working in my home.I started out building a drag bike.Well,almost the entire bike is different now.The entire suspension has been changed:marvin shaws,jj&a axle,podos swingarm,and K&T drag a-arms.I have alot of money in the motor.With all the trial and error stuff I've bought in the past and including this build,I have spent so much on this bike that I could probably go buy two new yfz and pay cash.For my budget,that's a huge amount of money.Now how will I ever get the credit card paid off.I also took out a 401K loan for some of it.Am I alone.

 

Oh well,this bike should fly when done.Might need new shorts after each ride.Hopefully.

Been there done that but my cash never gets focused on any single project. Too many toys

[bansheerage]

same here. 3 trucks, 2 quads. the money can never really go toward one thing. i wouldnt do it any different though because i like all my toys

Hey race it is hard, I try to find excuses to charge stuff for my shee all the time.And no your not alone

[MILO]

my wife's always griping about my credit card, cuz my shee parts are usually ordered and put on it. not that it can't be paid off, just the idea i guess. but i don't go overboard. it's about $600 now. i can't imagine having several grand on it.

I have friends that are so far in debt it just insane.I'm close to about $5000.Might not seem like much but it is to me.Looks like I better start getting alot of overtime or I'll be selling the wife's banshee,and that's something I don't want to do.Sorry guys.Just feeling a little sorry for myself.I'll get over it the first time I start winning some races with my new beast.

I have always been kinda afraid to get a CC and put a build on it.. I have a buddy that works at a car performance shop sellin parts. He sees this kinda thing all the time.. A guy will come in, buy all sorts of shit and more than likely will grenade it before its even close to being paid off. So then it suck because they are paying out the ass on a jumbo 2500lb paper weight.. Sounds shitty so Iam afraid to go that far So... Good luck

Its fun for a while, you can pretty much get what ever you want, and then all of a sudden WHAM you have to start paying. And you continue to pay until you die. The end.

I use my tax return money for my builds, It's my present to myself for working hard all year. Now if I could figure out how to get more on my return............

[race-a-holic]

Had to come home early from work today.Wife pulled a muscle in her back.She couldn't even walk when I got here.She took me to work and had felt fine.She come back home and went to bed and when she woke up she couldn't even stand up.OUCH!She went to the doctor and he gave her some medicine.She'll be ok.

So yeah,things can always be worse.
