I sleep in my trailer, cook on a Coleman stove and tow a budget trailer with a 1/2 ton pickup. I have more money in my car than in my support equipment as I want to race competitively.
My current upgrade, a new engine, has already cost me almost as much as I paid for the car, 3 years ago.
I have a simple job and am not far behind you in age.
Life is about choices. I choose to race. You choose to complain?
I don't complain about nothing. Had a big health care a few years back and don't complain about anything, I'm glad to be on this side of the turf. Actually, I'm retired, and I tow on an open trailer with a 2005 Hemi Durango. I spend my nights in my own home, or when I do tow far I do get a motel room so I can get a shower, a luxurious one, like maybe the Waldorf. A room with the gold faucets and a massuese. Sometimes I even take my loving bride of 35 years and mother of our three grown children. She likes the Waldorf, too. Not complaining, just stating fact. If everyone's priorities were like yours they wouldn't have a car count problem, would they? Sleeping in the truck days are long behind me. And, you are right, my priorities are completely different. I was not aware that is a 'problem', but, well, that's OK, I guess it is. I stand informed. I'll leave it to you to show how superior you are to others you like to eat balogna sandwiches so you can martyr yourself and have the latest 'trick' stuff? Well, it's hard to put into words exactly how impressive I find that to be. Literally impresses the stuffing out of me. Wow.
