Well I'm Probably Getting Out Of This Whole Car Scene.... :(

[spec-v5150]

well, do whatever it takes I guess. I am getting my GF into nissans. gonna get her in a nice 240Z!

Spec>> I am not selling cars anymore, that did not pan out. back to pizza delivery I guess! ah, its good money and it sure as hell ain't ahrd work, lol! Also, the Xterra comes from the factory with a super charger! on the highest models only tho. might be kind of spendy. Just get a '01 (me thinks) pathfinder. It has the VQ35DE in it! and with 240hp, I am sure you'd be happy with it! (S/C xterra has like 210hp)

I have a 01 pathy with the vq... mine has 250hp (so says Nissan) since I have the 5spd... lucked out finding the manual, 4x4, sunroof, and silver, which is everything I wanted. I didn't want a Xterra b/c I thought 215hp out of a v6 supercharged was kind of weak. I like my BFgoody 30" AT's... and if you really need bigger Calmini is making a lift kit that should be out soon for the Pathy. I picked mine up last Oct for low 20's w/ 16k mi on the clock... might as well get something with balls for the same price.

I will sell it in about 2 years when I don't need 4wd any more... I'm a car guy.

god damn project....just what i was thinkin....yer young...YOU DO NOT WANT TO SETTLE DOWN AND get married or anything like that....im telling u. Dont let a female control YOUR life. YOU need to make the decisions. you need to find someone that is into the same things....or that can exist with u and not care about what u do. Remember, you should not have to change for anyone.

some of lifes crappy lessons i learned late at 27.

Perhaps you dont speak for everyone Kev with your bad experience I for one would LOVE to settle down in a couple years when my girlfriend has some college under her belt. It's outrageous to think that you could have a girlfriend/boyfriend who doesn't care what you do either. I KNOW I care about what my girlfriend does and she cares what I do, even if it causes arguments. Relationships are about compromises for the improvement of the couple. I disagree with not having to change for anyone too because it violates the compromises theory.

[crzycav86]

kevy might have a point. I think that generally, young guys in relationships overreact to a lot of things. and project might be overreacting.(Notice I said might.... I'm not sure)

My advice is that you shouldn't do anything in the spur of the moment. Think things out long and hard before you make a very big decision like this. You may sell your car, engines, and bolt-ons just to make her happy, but look at how much you would have lost if she leaves you anyway in the distant future.

I was deeply in love once upon a time.. While we were going out, I would have said that there is nothing that could have seperated us... Needless to say, I had to eat my words when the time came. The point is, think long and hard before you make big decisions.... Good luck with everything, and hopefully, you can keep the car and the girl!

[kevy8up]

but nathan the compromises you speak of are the ...ok...i'll put a new role of toliet paper on the rack when i finish the old one. or....ok honey, ill do the dishes this week. Those decisions are expected when you live or marry someone. BUT, when u are dating someone and they expect that u quit doing what u love cause they feel u dont love them enuff is just BS. those are HIGH SCHOOL Games. that person needs to NOT be so insecure and realize that its a hobby and not be jealous.

My buddy is in a marriage that he has given up his whole life cause his wife that he married is very demanding and ver affectionate. Every day i watch him say how much he loves his wife but hates her also. Im just looking out for the people that "fall in love with being in love."

project if i am being a pest let me know and ill leave u alone about this. Im just putting the other side of the ...I LOVE U THING. so people can see what also happens.

good luck bro.

I hear Ya Project... Through all the WAITING for RB I was into it... hell when the SR came I was into it.. now the SR is in and all I need now is a hotpipe and you know what I've realized?? I don't give a **** if it gets done for any reason other than I need a car again. I moved 200 miles away to live with my mom to afford this dumb swap, I left my girlfriend back at home who I've been dating for two years... its not like we aren't dating now but its just not not the same... instead of having an unreliable KA I now may have an Unreliable SR that I paid with time and blood. I'll be moving home in December, I shouldn't have $$ trouble and things will probably get better with my girlfriend and I... but I really have to wonder... was all this crap worth it?? probably not.... am I interested in spending another 1111110402302525+++ dollars to have track suspension and 400HP SR?? Not really... I sure do hope it is funner than tha KA though or this will really all have been in vain.

[spec-v5150]

I would give up my car for my wife in a heartbeat. If you love someone.....TRULY love someone...what they feel matters. I would give it all up for that ONE. now if it was just some breezy I would be like ***** shut the **** up. LOL I agree 100% with him because in the end if you are willing to let somethign go...was it really worth fighting for??? I can see how a project would get in the way of stuff. When I got my 240..I was ALWASY in the garage. had a few arguements about it, but it worked itself out. Besides a 240 wont comfort when you are having a bad day or pleasure when you are feeling "antsy..."To me its just a car. A really small thing in the scheme of things. I can see her compromising and I dotn know how often project works on his car, but i mean if he is spending every non working moment with a car and not his women, that would get old real quick. How would you feel if your girl would rather do Mary Kay partys or some **** liek that instead of spend time with you.

[kevy8up]

ok guys...I, would also..... drop anything and everything if it meant my marriage.....BUT .....it doesnt...im not married...i've been with a female for three years to find out it just doesnt work.....and guess what ....im not in the garage workin on my car.....ive spent ample time with her and guess what ....it doesnt work. Granted ive picked the wrong one. WE WERENT COMPATIBLE....lol three years to find that out....lmfao...thats why i laugh. anyway...i dont think hes married but if he loves her that much to almost be. then she should understand what he loves doing and they will be able to compromise on that. ...bahhhhhh....u guys should know what im gettin at by now. just hate hearing that people will quit everything they love doing cause their significant other wants more from them. What will they want after that.....quit goin out with friends....quit doin this ...quit doin that.....llmfao.....i gotta stop!!!!

[spec-v5150]

I wont quit everything...I just think some things arent worth it really. I mean obviously it doesnt mean much to him in the first place if he wont fight over it and is willing to let it go. I say go for it...only he knows hjow he feels about herand he thinks its worth it so I say go for it. You can always come back to it later or you8 can always cutback but....I dont know it isnt my life. Even if I wasnt married, I would cutback on stuff for a serious girl and I have...I gave up playing video games for the LONGESt time. It made my relationship better. Sure it didnt work out, but that is life. You cant win em all

[PROJECTRB240SX]

THIS ISN'T ABOUT HER!

I'M AM SICK OF THIS CAR AND EVERYTHING IT HAS BROUGHT INTO MY LIFE. SHE IS JUST PART OF THAT. IT HAS RUINED MY LIFE AND TURNED ME INTO SOMETHING I'M NOT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE LOST HER AND DESTROYED FRIENDSHIPS AND THE LIST GOES ON. I'M NOT BLAMING THE CAR I'M BLAMING MYSELF FOR ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN. THE REASON I WANT TO GET HER A TRUCK IS BECAUSE SHE DESERVES LIFE ON A SILVER PLATTER. SHE HAS GIVEN ME THE ULTIMATE PATIENCE AND SUPPORT AND RESPECT AND I HAVE FAILED HER ON ALL ASPECTS. SHE IS THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME AND I WISH I COULD SAVE WHAT WE HAD, BUT SHE IS ALSO MY BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE FACT THAT I ALLOWED AN INANIMATE OBJECT TO TAKE OVER MY LIFE AND TURN ME AWAY FROM THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT. MY LIFE IS DESTROYED AND I'M DEVESTATED AS OF NOW, I WOULD LOVE TO BELIEVE THERE IS HOPE BUT ONCE YOU'VE WRONGED LIKE I HAVE WRONGED HER I DON'T THINK SHE'LL EVER WANT ME BACK.

I WOULD GIVE UP ANYTHING FOR THIS GIRL, IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME I WOULD HAVE NOT EVEN GOTTEN THIS CAR AND GOTTEN A TRUCK LIKE SHE WANTED OR THE AUDI SHE ENJOYED. IF I HADN'T BEEN SO ****ING SELFISH THIS PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. I'M THE ULTIMATE LOSER BECAUSE I SHUN EVERYTHING THAT I CARE ABOUT AND BY THE TIME I REALISE IT ITS WAY TO LATE. OHH WELL, I'VE GOT ALOT OF GROWING UP TO DO AND ITS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I ALLOWED MYSELF TO DO WHAT I DID? LIFE SUCKS!

[crzycav86]

If the time you spent working on your car has caused all this ****, then you should make compromises. Don't throw away working on cars if you still love working on them. Just spend less time on it. It seems like you mixed up your priorities, and now you need to straighten them out. It seems like you put cars at the top of the list, when it should have a lower rank(but not the lowest rank). Making a list of your priorities is easy, but exhibiting them in that order may be difficult, and only you know how to live up to them.
