Re: Attempt/Mistake #2

I normally wouldn't presume to interject myself in someone elses business however, take it from someone who had nearly the exact same thing happen to them, prioritize well because I blew about 13 grand in the blink of an eye and then looked at my truck and thought to myself "I didn't plan very well" I bought stuff I didn't need to get it back on the road running and driving like luxury items that I probably wouldn't have bought if I wasn't flush with cash.
I had a tendancy to think "ok so it's $500 I got money so heck yeah I'm gonna get it" well when you buy a whole bunch of parts that are $500 or more apiece it adds up insanely fast
My advice is to concentrate on the parts you need to get it running and driving again then once that is done buy all the toys for it you want.
