    I have the same issue.

    Pretty much my project car sits (84 mustang svo) It rare and parts are expensive

    My wife and kids come first.

    We are on a single income (mine) by the end of the month we usually have around $100 left in the checking. So the project car sits.

    I cant really complain. I chose the theory of us living on one check. My wife stays home and takes care of the kids. She designs websites on the side so if we get any extra money from doing site maintenance then it goes to extra.

    We have been able of gradually upgrade the family car from a 92 jeep cherokee with 222k on the clock, to a 96 accord with 185k to the currently family ride of a 01 land rover discover se7 with 60k on it.

    We paid cash for the disco and would not regret doing it again. Savings is a little empty right now but we are building that back up.

    Everybody tells us the LR's are expensive to work on, no "s@#$" well that is why i have tools and do my own work.

    I've got my rex I drive back and forth to work and it is all good.

    Just set the goals on what you want to accomplish it will happen trust me on that one. I did not think we would have a LR living on one salary but we do.

    I'd love to have a little old school truck at some point in my life. Your's looks like the first one I rode in during high school.
