Not to go on some spill, but I'm really distrought that I lost her... or she left me.

She was a badass girl. Hot... liked the rough and kinky sex. She was a ------- wonderful artist, as matter of fact shes going to Art Institute of Chicago next year. This happened recently so the last few days have been heart-pounding stressful for me. I really, really cared for her. I can't get any part of the situation off my mind. I felt that I royally fucked up, and that is why I feel that I should change. Not just for the this situation, but for myself. I don't want this ---- to happen again with anybody else, or her if we ever get back together. A car cannot replace people, and a nicely built car will never replace what I would have missed when working for it on a $7/hour wage.

Anyway I'm going to take it easy for a while, hopefully things shall work out for the best... I'm still recovering and hopefully I'll be back on my feet sooner or later.

Well it sounds like maybe you should step away from the car stuff for a while.It really depends what you want and what value you put on things.To really be building a ride etc it requires alot of sacrifice and can def effect other aspects of life.Personally it is not a hobby for me it is a lifestyle and I dont want to have a quick car i want to absolutely dominate and be the fastest.This means i give up everything else in pursuit of it similar to if you want to be a pro or similar at sports it means total commitment.It sounds like you had a really nice girl and I must admit at times I wish i had the extra time for dating/relatioships kinda stuff instead of just ---- and bail before she wakes up.Maybe you should consider just chucking in a stock motor and a basic kit and that will allow you to concentrate on those other things in life such as dating etc.Life is full of tough choices that must be made.Good luck.

think of it this way. There's no chance in hell you're going to build that turbo honda and have a reliable car. You're just going to have to spend more money in like 6 mo top.,

on the other hand. 1. No one here wants to hear about some high maintenance broad dumped you because she was jealous of a car. You worked hard for it, you put the time into it and that will be better off in your life than some high maintenance chick. 2. You will possess the knowledge to work on your own car(s). 3. You possess the determination to set goals and accomplish them (being 18, saving for a car or it's work, school, working etc is not easy).

Screw her, you're better off IMO. I dont care WHO she is/was, if she even HINTS for you to pick her or the car, the one who didnt force the decision wins. this should tell you alot about HER that you didnt know. she's selfish.

art institute is stupid, it wont get you anywhere or put you in any position to make any decent amount of money, that just proves shes stupid.

Well for once scottsi said something intelligent.

Being a slave for your hobbies isn't any fun either. I've been doing it since I was 12. I'd go to work with my dad to make some cash on the side, then come home and read write ups and forums and ---- pertaining to R/C cars and what not. It hasn't gotten me anywhere far.

If you've got another daily driver just slow down the rate at which your project is progressing. If it's the only car you have to drive and it doesn't run, then obviously you need to get it running. Otherwise, I'd just take your time with the rest of the build and enjoy other things in life for awhile.

Moron. I know this may be hard for you to understand... well given that you're a ***** the numbers might make more sense but for some people doing things isn't about the money. Let me put it this way so you can understand: "To some people $500,000 for some art work isn't their goal. Will he, or she, accept it? Most likely, but that would probably only be an uber positive side path of creating it."

Anywho, I understand people's hate, if not apathy, toward high school relationships, but as you'll hear every time I really liked her. I might get with her in the future or something. Anyway I'll also miss the novelty of having sex with a girl that has the same name as me: Taylor. 8 ( booo.

Also let me note that I don't have car(s) plural. That was a misstype on my part. I just have a daily driver w/ and extra block.
