But this dude has a family to take care of. Not just a girl. It's a big difference.

DO. You know this old Civic of mine has really just popped on the scene, right? I've been on here for some time now without posting picks and updates and all to that car...or any car. I've had that CVCC since September of 2006. And you guys are just now seeing it. It took me 2 1/2 years to just get an engine in it to run. That's all because I have my family to feed, clothe and put a roof over. You don't have to let go of something you love to do what you need to do. You can set it to the side for a minute. The reason my car is just now really coming out is because I really just started making the money I make now. Plus I don't have a house or car note.

And who says you have to keep dumping money into it? Can you not be satisfied with how it sits now? I would be if that car were mine. After this paint on my CVCC, I need floor carpet and the stereo situation done and that's it. Strictly maintenance and driving for me on that. Now if keeping the car does cause temptations to want to add to it and force your hand into slacking off on first priorities then, by all means, unload that thing.

I think you're in the process of "growing up" right now by having these thoughts in your head. You know what's right and what's wrong. You know where your priorities lie. I have my proof of that.

To come to an end, you don't have to give up your car to grow up. And in that sense, you don't have to completely grow up to know your role and responsibilities as a husband and Dad and then....an enthusiast.

Later, QD.
