Re: man im stupid

Dude, your not stupid, you just have a serious ilness, your sick man, & the only remedy that will make you fell better is buying more trucks, there's alot of guys like you here, some alot sicker then you, they trucks in the front yard, the back yard, some have flowers growing out of them, some have so many trucks they had to build a fence to hide the trucks behind to keep the city from giving them fines.

You'll be okay, don't be so hard on yourself

Re: man im stupid

I had to get some help on this board too. Garage therapy, so to speak. Everyone encouraged me to finish one of my current projects before i bought another one (unless of course it was a real steal, )

My problem is i havent finished a project in forever and my garage was lookin .

Now its motivated me to finish some of my stuff before i added more to my ever-growing pile of half done vehicles


oh, and btw -- don't trade the '68 for anything --- there is a LWB thread on the 67-72 boards---- some of those trucks look gooooooood.

Re: man im stupid

Haha I have the urge to buy more like you wouldnt believe. Been fighting it. Thing of it is my current project truck spends a lot of the time tore a part. Really I should have another old truck to use to run and get parts and stuff with when my main truck is getting work done to it.
I keep telling myself though its not the cost of buying a truck. Its all the repairs we have to do after we buy it. So these trucks that look like great deals quickly turn into money pits. Haha Last thing I need is another truck. Then I would have two trucks to be working at all the time!(grin)
