I don't know what your situation is, but it could be worse. You have a roof and a job. Some of us live pay check to pay check and are on the border of just saying "Screw it". Sucks that you have to sell off the toys for whatever reason, but you'll get them back eventually. On a related note...got any R3 blocks or W series heads you need to unload?

I hope things look up for you.I also hope,if you do have to sell out,you get what everything is worth.
Some people try to get things for a lot less than face value when the seller is in need.
Best of luck to you.

Sorry to hear this, hope thing's eventually improve for you and you get back to where you want to be,, life has a way of kicking a fellow in the nad's sometime's, but that's the chance us working stiff's have to endure cause it can happen to any one of us at any time.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

For the record, I wasn't being serious and was trying to make light of the situation. Looks like it may be more involved than I thought. Best of luck and hope things work out as best as they can.

You might be surprised. They rather have some payment than none. PM me some details, I may be able to steer you to some helpful resources.

There's always somebody worse off. I have been doing charity work here in Brisbane. Brisbane has seen its worse flood since 1974.

People have lost everything, there houses, there busineses, even there children and family members.

They have 4 metres of thick stinking brown mud through everything.

I helped a guy out yesterday, who has a large engineering company.

He has 50 or so cnc bridgeport lathes and machining centres totaly under water and no insurance.

I'm sorry, and I feel your pain. I got laid off two years ago and lost my house, my car and my health hasn't been the best. But I'm fighting back, picking up side jobs herr and there, and trying to get my business off the ground.. You will be in my prayers. All I can say is thank god I had a rental that was paid off, hell I have family members moving in with me... God bless.

Sorry to hear you are having tough times. I lost 1/2 of my income in my divorce. I am trying to live on what I made 15 years ago. I am hanging on to my car that I have owned for 24 years trying to not sell it along with my trailer, parts etc. Hang in there. Fwiw sometimes I read a post I really want to respond to and choose to keep my comments to myself, but after reading what some chuckle heads type on here I just wanted to share .

Maybe you should engage your brain before running off at the keyboard , that is his SIGNATURE PICTURE , he screwed up quoting the post , maybe you should be chastising everyone that showing their cars in their sigs in this thread ?

Just for some perspective... If you woke up this morning, and those you love did too, you're ahead of a lot of people. If it's creditors they are in business to make money off inability to pay. They'll get by. It's only a credit rating. Not who you are.


Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Its not how much money you have today , its how much money you have tomorrow. I can not feel sorry for guys that spend a bunch of money on a dream that is in most cases are way out of their reach on their income they are making. They get caught up in the Mopar Muscle flexing club. Then loose their job. Not their fault. With the way this country is going we all may end up with race cars and muscle cars for sale.


If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Its not how much money you have today , its how much money you have tomorrow. I can not feel sorry for guys that spend a bunch of money on a dream that is in most cases are way out of their reach on their income they are making. They get caught up in the Mopar Muscle flexing club. Then loose their job. Not their fault. With the way this country is going we all may end up with race cars and muscle cars for sale.


just about anyone who loses a job would be in the same fix these days. has nothing to do with building their dream. you have to live your life and enjoy it while you can. there may be no tomorrow. I don't know how many friends I have seen lately passing away and guess what they couldn't take any of it with them.

So sorry to hear...I'd first see if I could find more/better(side jobs?) work before I thought about selling my stuff. Maybe you have already done that?

Good luck to you.

Been off work for over a year here. Not here to rub salt either.

Went to a funeral Friday for a 25 yr old guy that appeared to have had alot going for him.

A lesson to be learned every day.

I'm still trying to build my racecar.

Bummer man.
Like others have said , it's only a credit rating.
Keep doing the best you can , and if anyone expects more than that , I got two words for them....the first one begins with an "F" , and I am pretty sure that the powers that be won't let that one through.
The second one is " You ".
Here is a lesson I learned the hard way.
Creditors will do nothing for you while you are current.
Miss a few payments and all sorts of opportunities to address your plight become available.
I underwent a lumpy period , with a layoff of 10 months and accompanying loss of income.
A lot of it was my not seeing it coming and living like a rock star ( figuratively ........ no booze , groupies , dope or anything......just lived well ) , but once it became impossible to make the monthly nut I had to humble myself and make a couple decisions.
And I took great pride in not missing a payment or ever being late etc. etc.
They could have cared less.
Until I stopped making payments.........now , the one creditor who lost my personal " who gets paid " lottery was my friend and couldn't be more helpful.
I wish you the best , and remember this........all you can do is your best.
That is plenty good enough.

Build your dream with the income you have and get to enjoy it before you die or loose your income. I too have lost friends. One had a car he was building to race in KOS.This was years ago. Never had just enough money to finish the car right,but the car was way good enough to race for the fun of it. Died of brain cancer and his son sold the car for half of what the car was worth.
If I loose my income tomorrow? I would find something to make money. With the way I race I don't owe a dime to no one for the race car. Budgit bracket car. So the car could sit and cost nothing. I bought alot of new never used parts or used parts that was not right for their combo from guys that got in over their heads trying to keep up with the Mopar click.


If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

when it happened to me last year, i quickly cut every possible extra expense. took full coverage off the cars. used a space heater in my bedroom only over the winter and it was cold last winter. ate romon noodles, chicken legs and PBJ sandwiches for a year. cut off cable and internet. i had a habit of paying extra on bills. stopped that. took every side job i could handle and made it thru the year. i didnt spend a dime on my cars but got to work on alot of others guys cars and found them spending their money on parts i recomend just a satisfying and exciting as my own car and made that extra cash i needed to make it.

I'm in import and export trucking, and we were hit very hard before most everyone seen the slow down. I can say that we are pretty busy again and customers that completely stopped shipping are now almost back to full swing so i would think things are comming around

may be a good idea, your credit will take a hit either way. like said if you miss a few payments they will be willing to work with you more than likely.

I can understand your situation. The Air Force is making us move and I will loose my entire income. Not the first time for sure but it still sucks every time it happens. The job market in Las Vegas is not real good either so not sure what I am going to do. On top of my income my wife will be getting paid $550 less a month as well to do to a COLA drop for Vegas vs here. So all told we will be $55K+ less per year. I am not complaining, it is just something else we have to put up with as a military family.
