Mike, IMO I wouldn't get rid of the car for several reasons. I just bought my first house and now ALL my money goes into it. I don't go to the track as often as I did after I bought the house or when I was single. But not to say that my wife is cutting me off from racing, it's just your priorities change. Get all your toys now cause once u get a house u tend to do all u can to make your house better. It's the only thing that will increase in value as compared to a car. Cars suck but they sure are fun. If I didn't have this house I would of had a built 4v w/ a blower. But your in a different situation than me(if I remember right your single). My mom has a 00' Lincoln Ls and yes it drives nice but when I get out of it I do want to jump into my car take it for a spin. Plus if u did get rid of it, your gonna get the bug again. Then you would have to start from square one all over again. Just get the car to run consistant with a conservative tune(for reliability issues) Then look around for a house if u do so desire one. I'm sure Scott will chime in give his .02$ He is in the same boat but he has kids too. So your only young once man, live life to it's fulliest. Keep the car...........OR give it to me! -Mark
