      Which Direction???

      I need everyones' help with a decision...

      I currently have way too many projects going on right now and have to decide on which path to follow...

      Here is a little history on one of my projects...

      I started the project in 2001; where I had decided it would be fun to drop in a mildly built 2.3L turbo motor into a 2nd generation Ford Ranger, so I went out and bought a motor and proceeded to drop about 2k into the rebuild, well after several years went by from getting married, moving out of the state and moving back, to being laid off twice in 2 years, the project fell to the way side...

      A few years ago I completely fell in love with track days, so I went out and bought a 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5Rs, I thought that it would be nice to have for the Ohio Winters... Which I was correct... the only issue was that the car completely emptied my pockets trying to keep the car on the road and on the track... i fortunately ended up selling the car to make ends meet, out went the expensive car, but the want for track days is still there...

      So that takes me to my other project, after I had sold my Subaru I felt the need to buy another car for track and autocross, I ended up finding a rare AWD turbo car that is also very fun to drive, the car is a 1991 Isuzu Impulse RS AWD turbo, looking at the car in the pictures, the car looked very clean... I bought the car and found out that there is a lot more rust than I was expecting...

      See the problem is that I love having projects and love working on cars, but my wife and I just moved into a house that does not have a garage, At heart I am a huge Muscle Car/Vintage car enthusiast... so a little Japanese car is not my first pick for a project, I personally want to finish the Ranger project, but without a garage it makes it incredibly difficult to finish...

      I guess I need help choosing which route to go project wise, I mean trucks are not the most approved vehicles for track days, but I must say that I love being on this site and talking with all of you guys, it makes me aspire to be more and do more with projects current and future that may come up, I would like to be able to attend events that Pro-Touring.com puts on...

      I appologize that this was such a long post, but I am completely lost with which direction to take...
