Hell I work full time and I don't have extra cash or a project car right now... life could be worse. I'm sure you'll get through fine.
Iowa those were some very positive words.
But one question. You do work full time? I mean you live on here. How do you have time for sleep and other joys in life. Iowa you could have a project car if you didnt live on here in your spare time. LOL. You know Im messin with you.

Yes I work 50+ hours a week, full-time. I do engineering work for a company just outside of Des Moines. I check DF at work when I have a break and nothing better to do. I get on here at night when the kids are asleep and have nothing better to do. I have had project/drag cars in the past, but right now a project car = extra money and expense that I do not have at the moment, or money that I need for other things.

Supporting two kids here at home, a wife, providing full medical coverage for everyone, and paying huge child support to an ex will do that to your finances.

mmmm engine stands. Taste like... victory. That is if you can get the engine onto the engine stand. In which case, if you can't, I smell pain and failure.
