Modding will be on hold for good
#1
Well with the gas prices rising and not looking to go down any time soon. I'm stopping all modding to my truck and come spring time-early summer i'll be looking to trade it in on a focus. I'm spending well around 200-250 a month in gas. I've even had to pick up a second job just to be able to afford it. I dont wana get rid of my truck :( , but the gas is just a big issue and I could save so much money getting a focus. So thats what my plan is.
For anyone interesting i'll list off the kind of focus I will be going for(will more then likely have to order it) i'm looking into a 05 zx3 ses. It'll have all the power options plus tilt and cruise with the tach. 5spd with the 2.0 with leather seats with the heated seat and side view mirror optiong. I'll probably get it in either sonic blue or black or silver not sure yet and I have time to decide. If things go well at this second job i'm getting I could possibly move into management and that also means i'll have more money for mods on it. Which I have some ideas on what i'd do. Anyway I just wanted to pass along the news.

Isn't there a better paying PT/FT job you can find AND still go to school?
Just wondering...

I've also tried finding other jobs and it isn't working out so i'm having to work with what i've got.

..But then that's for another thread, isn't it?!
