Had to sell your truck, not because you wanted to?

What's up guys, just venting a little bit and seeing who else has been in my situation. As life goes I started out my morning with some financial difficulties, and to take care of things I've got to put my project up for sale. It pisses me off, but I've gotta do what's right. I know this has happened to many people, just wondering how many of you guys and galls have had to do this?

I would never sell a ride of mine to pay off bills. I would rather work a second job to pay the bills off.

havent yet...but its been on my mind, the house is a much bigger project, and takes up that majority of my time. I was thinking if I do sell it, I'm gonna wait until this comming summer once its fully 100% done.

My truck is what put me in debt....but I would still never consider selling it, I've grown rather fond of it.

I will make it through this financial situation any other way I can, because my mini truckin lifestyle puts a big smile on my face and prevents me from weeping.

I'm in the same situation dude. I recently had my home forclosed on so now my truck my baby my life has to be put on hold for a while to help the kids lives continue. I'll get another one someday. Its not like I'm calling it quits on the lifestyle. YET? lol

know your pain. 1 1/2 years ago i bought a restaraunt. hoping to have a family business for my kids when they grew up.ive sold my van and a 73 340 duster (restored) to try and keep the place open and pay my bills.
now no rides left. house gettin foreclosed on and lost $150,000 trien to live the american dream. life sucks. but still have family and would rather have that than a truck/car anyday.

I really do wish I could keep it, I want to finish it. But to do the right thing I've gotta get rid of it. Thanks for chiming in everybody. Kinda helps out.

Having family is deffinately more important. So like you I'd choose them over a truck anyday.

There are a billion other project trucks out there and something that you could start... every truck or car that i have sold has payed off a school loan or some sort of debt... now i dont have any debt and i still have a project ride so it is a win win to sell your ride to pay debt

Man I was there about a year ago. Finally had a bag Mazda...then bam bills, bills, bills. I love my trucks..but hey my kids and wife are always first. Besides once I make enough for the wife to be happy I get to get a toy and start my dream project "Keep Dreamin".
