Our work is taking a half day because Gonzaga University is playing in the NCAA tourny today so I'll use that time to watch my parts climb out of their box and install themselves onto my car
It's just crazy, 4 years to put the car together with a countless number of changes along the way. It seems like a never ending stream of money just pouring from my wallet, and I'm tapped out. The funny thing is that when everything is going great you couldn't be happier, and I can tell you that the smile on my face from my first trip to the track lasted almost 3 weeks.. Now with the thing not running and a never ending list of stupid problems I just don't seem to have the patience. My motor is at the machine shop being upgraded and my buddies motor is in the car for now. I don't even want to think of the bill I'll be getting from the machine shop once mine is ready. I am seriously considering parking this thing in the garage for a month or two and just letting it set, one to just mentally catch up and two so that I can financially catch up. Neither of which is particularly easy while I am going through a divorce. I'm not saying that I'm giving up by any means, I've come to far for that, but I think I'm just going to step back from all of the car stuff for a little bit..

Yikes!! My clutch is going to need replaced soon and now in terrified!Mine has been in my garage for the last 2 years, it first started as just putting in a Ram HDX clutch, then the throwout bearing got stuck and had to drill it out, that turned into the water pump going out, went from there to stripping out the t-stat housing. Edlebrock Performer 5.0 went on which turned into converting to MAF, bigger throttle body new seats and carpet. As of now it doesn't run and I have no interior.

I wouldn't say project burnout, since I don't consider my car a project, but things definitely don't get done as fast as they used to. I always thought having a garage would make it easier to get things done, but it just makes it easier to shut the door and procrastinate.
