Family and faith first. Cars can always be had later. I have been working on mine for about 4 years. I haven't done a thing till recently. I am not allowed to use the familys money. If I want something I have to budget and save. If not, I dont get it. Simple as that.
I made a decision a few years ago, that I could not realistically afford a real nice show car. I could however, afford a real nice weekend driver. It may take time, but it will be there some day. I could finance it, but then it changes the true flavor of what the car means to me.
I now enjoy what others do with thier talent and thier cars. I really like to see it when someone does something diffrent. Actually seeing cars like Jodys and Charlies make me appreciate our muscle cars that much more, as it shows me what can be done to them. I may never have a car of that caliber, but they are cool to me none the less.
Keep you money and mind in balance. If you can afford it, by all means do it, if not, be true to yourself and admit it that you really should be happy with what you have. I will guarntee there is someone who whishes they have what you got...even if you fell you have nothing.
