I was bored tonight and thinking of how much I have put into my first project car. Here is the evolution.

Decide to buy 240sxGo to a trackRealize 240 is slowBuy parts to turbo 240Realize I don't have a garage to work on 240Buy house so I have a garageRealize garage looks small Buy tools to fill garage

One year later I've spent $150,000 and still don't have boost

Realize I am sick and need helpSpend hours on NICO getting my fix

Dreams of 12 second 1/4s and sideways corners

Priceless:ylsuper

No ac in the summer and no heat in the winter. It gets hot as hell in there in the summer since the whole thing has a tin roof. It kinda looks like a barn with big *** shipping containers on either side being where tools and other stuff is stored with a concrete slab in the middle. Its high enough to fit a freightliner in so its huge.
