An addiction cannot be controlled...... that's why it's called an addiction. The addict is either practicing or in recovery waiting for a relapse. You relapsed. (Note: relapse can be fun if it don't kill ya I DO love my addictions )

My advice is to not put hobbies in front of priorities. That's why my 6 year old truck is still damn near as slow as it was from the start. There will always be someone faster, cleaner, lower, etc., don't try to keep up with the "Jone's". I love my truck, and tinker with it when I can, but have been able to stop myself from going too far as to need a beater. It's your choice.
My 2 cents.

i ve had a beater for the last 3 years, and my trucks now where even close be to non streetable. how i look at is it the most exspensive this ive ever bought and, i wnat to keep the miles and normal wear and tear down. plus i install epoxy floors for a living, not the cleanest of jobs.
i went and looked at houses for the last 3 hours, there is a bunch out there that is right in my price range, now i just need to get saving for the down payment.
i know this is just a faze and i will be back to saving again, but what really killed my saving is this trans, and no working for the past month. oh well life goes on.
