Default Ever have more than one itch?

I'm sure we all have ..Something simple, like everytime I look at my truck I realize I am going to need tires eventually.. which leaves me looking at upgrading of course.

Upgrading = bigger tires, possibly different rims..

That = maybe I should lift it...

Next I'm racking up $5k worth of parts in my mind.. thinking .. damn.. if I could only.. but wait... I have a project already,, and If i had 5k right now it would go towards that.. so I change gears and try to forget about the first thing I had in mind, new tires on the truck

What do you do when you have more than one "itch" ?? My mustang will always be here to work on whenever.. that's the only excuse I can come up with for spending mass amounts of money on another not so important "project" ... I would honestly like to keep my truck stock just so it lasts at least 200k.. but I do miss my old lifted truck

How do you decide what gets worked on and when ?

I think I'll just throw some semi aggressive 35's on it start from there...

You can go to the drug store and get Permethrin soap. Follow the instructions...

Best to remember: If you lay down with dogs, you will get up with fleas AND crabs.

Another thing is , I am getting a bike.. If I take a decent interest in my cruiser, I might just drop the mustangs.. too many hobbies. Not enough space/money .. plenty of time.

Yep, I have the same problem. Into mustangs, lifted trucks, motorcycles, weightlifting, and my two wives. trying to balance all that gets pretty overwhelming. I still feel like right now I need to make a decision to either sell the bike or the mustang (which I am not ready to do right now). And I damn sure dont have the money to support ll those projects.

You gotta choose one.For me my Mustang is a very expensive project,some others stay mildly built and love it,I want to drive a eight second car though,so money goes into the stang when I can swing it.Soon Ill have everything I need to put it together,but finding the time to work on it will be a problem...customers come first for me.
