Don't sweat it we all had to start out somewhere.

I'm all over this one.

I have tons of shit that I don't need, but always seem to find a use for. For example:

I play lots of sports...baseball, football, softball, golf, mountain biking, snowboarding, etc...This is my trunk. Always gotta be prepared.

GoPro...essential for capturing cool shit

My Beemer. She sits in the garage mostly now that I've moved back to Kansas City. Especially right now.

My main vice is guitars though. I have 8. I do play in (sort of) a band, so they get pretty good use, but I could probably cut down. Between all that shit and my golf clubs, TV (65" Samsung LED) and my PS3, I've got too much shit. For my girlfriend it's a love/hate relationship. She hates when I buy things, but usually loves the use that we get out of them. The way I look at it...I've worked hard to be able to afford nice things...so why the hell not?

Oh, and I LOVE that FJ. I have been looking at those. I'm still driving my old Dodge Ram from 10 years ago. It's a good truck, but it's time to move on.

Well my toys are actual TOYS.

But I also have a Nissan X-Terra with a solid set of camping gear, a fancy mountainbike and an all-original 1972 Campervan.

I sorta jumped into this thing feet first, but I plan on learning as much as I can, asap.

Don't let me forget: one of the preeminent guitar builders in the world is planning to create a new electric with Evel Kneviel colors! It'll be a collectors item for sure - show piece. Glitter paint, Evel stars, etc. Totally 1976!

It's going to be badass! You'll have to see it when it's finished.

These are my two rides. My other motorized toys are a 2011 Bullet 21 SS w/300 Merc SS bass boat, and 2011 Polaris XP 900. If I own one of something it has gotta be fast! :toast:

Well, okay, so it's a work vehicle :)

You did a lease program to get that nice of a truck is my guess. I hope you know what you're doing.

I think I read up on the lease thing; but can't remem ber the details. I remember though, it did sound a bit risky.

Everything except for paint. It was a frame off restoration (unibody) so after each piece was painted I reassembled the car. You gain a nice appreciation for how everything works when you do it yourself. ;)

It took first in its class at the Super Chevy Show last year in St. Louis.

thats how I'm doing the lefty. I'm getting ready to pull the engine later this month, then the body, and the frame is off to the sandblaster. The other one will probably not be frame up, but rather just a decent runner.

This was initially going to just be a good strong driver quality car because I was also restoring a 73' Cuda 340 car (matching numbers, hurst 4-speed).

I lost the Cuda in a divorce so I said "what the hell" and decided to go all out on this one. I had a smaller supercharger on it at first but switched over to the 6-71 last spring. There are some things I would do differently if I started over but I'm pretty pleased with it so far. I'm getting ready to upgrade the fuel system and tune it better so I can use the nitrous. I haven't sprayed the motor yet because I didn't want a lean condition on the motor. Patience :D
