The Pigeon Forge Project

Well guys, it's time to concede defeat on my quest to make RTH4. What happened? Life happened, that's what happened. It seems like every time I come into some money to throw at the car, something happens and the funds need to be spent on something else. This year my wife and I are expecting child number 3 (which isn't a bad thing at all) and I had to set aside our tax return money for her Maternity leave this Summer. So there goes THAT money. Then GM decides to give all their employees a profit sharing check this year. I think to myself, "Awesome". Shortly before I get the check my truck decides it wants a new fuel pump ($736) and then my son decides he wants to hit rocks with a tennis racket in our backyard and ends up taking out the window in our neighbors doorwall to the tune of $450. Well...there goes $1186 right down the drain. Even the puny Tax check we're supposed to get from George W. in May is already spent. I just can't win...it's becoming too daunting of a task and I'm tired of worring about it. I have a new son or daughter on the way in July and I gotta prepare for that. So I'm throwing in the towel, I will not have the car at RTH4 this year. I am very disappointed about it but then I have to be happy about all the progress I've made since October, so in that respect I feel RTH3 served me well. And I still have a ton of work to do on the car this Summer that doesn't require spending money so I'll still be giving updates. Looks like it's now a quest for RTH5. Oh well....I guess there are worse things in life. Thanks for everyones encouragement the past 7 months.
