Recipe for going from zero to hero in 2 weeks, or broke to exremely broke.

I purchased an 87 black T2 roughly 3 weeks ago for $900. A great deal. Then I see a few more deals, buy em. Then another, OH rims, gotta get those. Hey, is that a cheap haltech, bought it. ****, my motor is getting kinda weak. Kurgan: "How about we rebuild yours during the winter?" ZYonker: "Nah, J-spec. Hey, how about a 13B-RE?"

So earlier this morning I found a 13B-RE. Just bought it.

I spent over $5000 on this car in 2 weeks. Am I nuts?

5k? That's it? come on... that's weak! At least you're making very wise investments. I'd say you were crazy if you were out spending 5k on all show, and no go. But since you're doing a litte both, I'd say you're just loaded. And lucky. Enjoy your toys!
