Hi my name is Marshall….I’m a modaholic.
So I was kicking back at work doing the daily 2pm day dreaming session. I was looking at the Titan in the parking lot and thinking about all the money I have spent on it. Also thinking of how my excuse to myself and to my Fiancée for buying this truck last January for my B-day was so that I wouldn’t have to spend any money moding it. I bought it with 15k miles and it already had a body lift. It was sitting pretty stout and looked decent (to a normal person). All my other trucks have been pretty extreme and I love personalizing my vehicles to the max. What you drive says a lot about you. With a new house, wedding, and everything else that goes into being 25 and trying to get your life started, the last thing I needed was to spend more money on my truck.
Well I guess I have a problem or an addiction to modding. As I was gazing at my truck which is now at about a 10” front lift and a 7” rear, I wonder how all this happened? I was supposed to be happy with a 3” body lift! It’s only been 6 months since I even got the truck! I don’t know what it’s called and it probably cannot be treated so I guess I will just have to deal with it….or better yet, my fiancée will have to deal with it.:evillaugh
I would never sacrifice my family’s quality of life and never use money on my truck that I think could be better used to put food on the table or provide for my family. But I’m not the type of person who needs the latest gadgets or fashion trends. The only reason I even have new clothes is because my girl occasionally over heats my credit card to buy me stuff. If it were up to me I would walk around with cargo shorts, no shirt and flip flops all day….I don’t care much when it comes to those things.
What I do care about for some reason is anything having to do with cars/trucks, or anything with an engine and how I can improve it either its looks or its performance. Old cars, new cars, 4x4, 2x4, doesn’t matter….how can I make it better is what I’m thinking. I once made a sacrifice and decided to get a normal 07 Honda accord for gas purposes and practicality…I tried to be normal. It was torture and I told myself that I would never sacrifice my happiness in the one thing I’m passionate about for anything ever again. That’s why I will never b!tch about gas, not fitting in my garage, bumpy ride, or people who flick me off because my HID’s shine through their back windows and blind them. I just smile because I wouldn’t want it any other way. :teethmast

fn: I think after loosing 10K on my first truck and dumping 18K in my second and the price of the truck 38K plus tax, I could have bought a, well whatever costs 66K... I think my truck is worth about 22K 3years later, if I'm lucky hehe......
