I disagree an "fun" DD turns into project car #2 for me. I lack self control
This far my 06 4runner is doing the DD duties just fine. No mods no problems.

Kind of hard to do when I work full time, have a 4 year old that wants to play as soon as I get him home and my Wife is 20 weeks pregnant with twins and can't really do too much. So Im the cook, cleaner, bath time dad, laundry guy and everything else which takes precedent.
Wow, another similarity between myself and 84Ttop. Until NMRA Bradenton last week, the last time I drove my '89 LX was July of 2009. I'm not too shy to admit that I had what I would consider a nervous breakdown on at least two different occasions during that time. (3-month chassis job actually took two years... brand new engine fuel-soaked the cylinders upon first startup attempt which killed the piston rings, requiring a fresh rebuild... etc) If I'm being completely honest, the only thing that kept me from selling everything and starting over is that the car is a project car for 5.0 Mustang Magazine, so basically if I give up my car, I give up my job. (not an option)
How does one get into the 5.0 mustang magazine??
I'm sure we all have some sob story about our projects, but I wanted to share something positive. Finally getting the chance to make passes in the car last week made me feel like a HUGE weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. It was awesome. And in my particular case, shoving the throttle pedal through the floor and running 155 through the traps was nearly orgasmic. (pardon my french)
So hang in there guys. Generally speaking, your hard work will yield a proportionate reward.

Very well put. It was all worth it when the guy on the return road handed me that 9.09 slip. You couldn't punch the smile off my face for at least a week if you tried. Now I guess I should get back to hustling on the car for Georgia.
buy me one, so I can tare into my engine?Bingo. Essentially the exact reason why I bought my WRX.
