Keep or Sell After You Build a Truck??

Keep or Sell After You Build a Truck??
Alright so I have my 99 Z71. I bought it basically stock and put 33" Mud tires, fixed a dent, chromed it some, put exhaust, intake, and tune. Done swapped motors once (just 5.3 to 5.3). Now that the truck is basically done for all I'm going to do to it and it looks and runs like it should I find myself bored. Lately I've been thinking of buying some kind of muscle car like a Mustang, Camaro, or even a Corvette. But I don't want to sell it because I have a lot of money and time in it. What does everyone else do? Just keep it and keep doing little things to it or sell it and start all over?

I guess modifying for looks is different than modding for power, because I'll never be done. And if I were to get tired of it, I would be afraid to sell it, because in my case the buyer would keep coming back with complaints about my half-assed fabrication.

I mean don't get me wrong I'd love to put a cam, stall, etc in my truck but if I want speed I would buy a car that has more potentional and put money in that. Just didn't know if people get attached to their vehicles after they work on them or do they just move on.

And DV2000NJ I know what you mean. This is my first truck to and I don't like the though of selling mine either. Just can't have everything I want I guess. Honestly I would like to drive a car for like 2 months, just to do a couple burnouts, ****** a couple gears, and just have some fun. Then get back to driving my truck.

LOL. Thats the most funniest thing I've heard all day. Especially since its coming from a guy with a lowered 4x4 with pretty little rims.

Its a machine, keep it or sell it. It dont really matter about how much you love it or not. People usually sell things because they need the money, not because there bored.

LOL! I'm dealing with this very same thing myself. I need to sell it but it's a modded truck. Don't want to mess with the phone calls later. Trying to sell mine to a friend for that reason that understands mods and I would still be able to tune and wrench on it. I need a back seat damnit.
