      But why do I constantly see guys posting there long term blood/sweat/tears builds for sale because they have a child on way?

      You have worked hard and built this BADASS car from scratch basically, if you have a kid coming. Seems like it may get put on back burner or not get tracked as much as you may previously. but when will you have time/funds to replicate something like this again? You have build exactly what you wanted. Keep it, enjoy it, have kid wrench on it when old enough.

      #endrant lol
      No offence taken. I get what you mean. My thought of selling it is not entirely due to the kid. I mean I owe $0 on the Bug and it only cost me $400 in insurance and $30 a year to keep it registered so it really doesnt cost much every year. I am getting rid of my Nissan before the kid pops out (the only car I have a payment on) and that will likely cover the monthly cost of a kid. So its not really a money issue. At the same time, it would be nice to put whatever I sell the Bug for back in the bank. Besides the Bug, I have 2 other project vehicles/money pits. As it is, I have a hard time finding time to work on all 3 project vehicles which is partly why I havent touched the Bug since my last race.

      But the main reason is because the Bug didnt turn out exactly how I wanted. I wanted to be able to drive it around town and on the highway somewhat comfortably, almost to the point where it could be a daily driver (minus ac and heat). Well thats not what it turned out to be. It feels like I am driving a race car on the streets (which yes technically I am haha). Yes I can make it how I want it but again, more time, money and redoing things yet again. I can tell you for sure, I wont sell the Bug if I cant get what I have in it. If I can make some money on it, I can always build another one thats better and faster. Half the fun is in the build anyways. We will see what happens. Only time will tell.
