I never spend more on one than I can get back out of it. Thats when I know when to stop. But with that siad......this was abviously a vision and a dream when you started it. If it is still your dream....walk away for a while and come back to it when you have the mindset and $$. If its no longer your dream and you want to do something else...move on. You have to be 100% detached from the project to do that or you wot be able to ever let go of the time and money you spent/wasted. Another option is to "budget complete" the project and then later on change over to the fancy, nice or racy things you had originaly planned for the project.

I went back and re-read your post. You are correct...you can buy a descent driver about like what you are building for less that what it will cost you to finish yours BUT then you will want to pick it apart and re-do everthing and you will just be back in the same situation you are in now. I would walk away from it for a while, save some momey and watch the for sale ads across the country. See what you can find a replacement for and if the times comes you are back interested in your project and you have not found a replacement...start back up.
