I may be keeping the balt for a little while. Not gonna be back up and running in stock form for a good little while and I'm not in any huge rush to get rid of it; the partout just happened fast and therefore as a seller I have to make moves on tearing it apart and getting the parts out.
I'm gonna take my time putting it back together really nicely, good as I can, and run it around to make sure it's all up to snuff, as when I sell it i want it to be in tip-top condition still. I purchased a oem catback with 5000 miles on it and the rest of the parts I've gotten so far seem to be pretty mint.
Anyway I should be driving it this spring atleast; cars like this don't sell very well until spring/summer anyway.

Lmao i know i know. It is true adam.
Maybe partially its because yeah ive basically done everything to this car that i can do and well you know the saying how when youre dating a girl its all fun while youre getting to know her but once you know her you get bored and start thinking of other women? Lol
But more so its because i need to reallly focus on saving up for a house for my girlfriend and i. And unfortunately, much as i literally love this car, it is a massive money pit that i lost control of my finances over. I know if i keep it i will never quit dumping money into it. So i had to take a step back and realize that.
I was close to thinking i could be one of those guys who can hang onto his racecar and still get a house and all that but its a really tough thing to do. Mayyyyyyyybe if i play my cards right and save all the dough i make from parting it out i can just drive it around stock and save money. After all i just paid it off so im already gonna be able to save 300 a month. And then if im not modding it then like another 300 a month lol

Not getting rid of this to get an evo, not getting rid of this because its gonna blow up. Just becoming more responsible. But still trolling

Yeah, if i knew I could be good with my money I might have been able to do it but I'm just not 
Feels good that Ive been able to re-coop a lot of money though already! So it wasn't a complete loss; some people go on a 5 year drinking binge and have nothing to show for it at the end but a bad liver and anger issues.
Me on the other hand, it was like having a bank account that just had exponentially negative interest rates but atleast I got to enjoy the investment instead of letting the money sit!

For some reason, I am kind of excited to return it to stock and just see if it drives like when I first got it haha. Main thing I miss is the stock exhaust system, after that I do miss the M62 a bit Getting it to look mostly stock will be kinda cool too i think.
