My new job pays a lot less, and almost doubled my commute. I drive 48 miles each day round trip. I figure that it is costing me $320 per month just to drive it to work and back. That does not include any other driving.

That is calculated based on the price of gas as it is today at the station by my house. What will it be tomorrow? Next month? Next year?

I have been driving my wife's old Mazda to try to save on gas. It helps, but my truck is just sitting there. I have more money tied up in the completely stock crate engine in my truck than the Mazda is worth, and I can't afford to drive it. That makes no sense whatsoever.

I have also realized that my father's '37 coupe, which I inherited almost 4 years ago, is in almost the same condition as it was when I got it. All of my money and time go into the truck and, now, the Mazda.

My plan for a while was to just drive it on the weekends, and stop commuting in it. That has helped with the cost of my commute, but it still demands too much of my time and money. I have realize that I can't afford two toys. I'm just not able to swing it financially. I'm hoping to get enough for the truck so that I can buy a little S10 or Ranger, and begin putting my money and time into the coupe.

Sorry. I'm not a site supporter. I don't want to violate the board rules. It isn't my intent to try to sell it here.
