I feel like things are so busy around my house with my girl and kids and I'd rather give them attention. Just got a new house and about to get married. One of those things when you grow up with no family. But we'll see. Maybe I'll just do less events. I have a lot into to it just to get rid of it.

If it is not the money, garage it for awhile and or do fewer events. Think it overlong and hard as you have so much effort into your Z and it could vanish so quickly (sale).

Be slow and deliberate. Congratulations on getting married soon.

Take my advice, dont do it man! If you aren't a 100% sure of something, that means you really don't wanna do it, and there is uncertainty, which means your mind is playing on tricks on you

I am beggining to think fewer cars are on the road due to high gas prices. I paid $4.82 for 91 yesterday. Day after day I have been having good runs. This morning was no exception.

I saw a Mustang convertible and thought "hot dog" as I exited onto the main road. Dead dog would have been closer to the truth. He let me or I passed him and had a stellar drive all the way on. A motorcycle was on my tail initially but he fell off the pace after a couple turns. The only negative are all the road construction signs that tell you to expect road workers. Eventually with no workers the signs say end of road work. I just wish the signs were set up each day as opposed to days/weeks ago.

After weeks of these signs, I became complaicent recently and startled myself along with some poor road worker.

You are right guys. I might just slow a little. So hard when I love this car so much. I really want to make it full race.

Obviously, you have to do what's right for your fiancee and children. Hopefully you can keep the Z, but in the end, I think your priorities are in the right place for even thinking about it. You da man.
