Everyone has been in your situation Glenn. Our house has taken a load of money for upgrades...my truck needed work, car maintenance, food bills (we eat a LOT!) etc, etc. All that uses $$ I wanted to put into my fun projects. The good thing is all of us (on this board) are lucky to own buggies and other "fun" stuff. I know many people who can't afford anything more than the necessities....(isn't a buggy a necessity??)

Hang in there. It'll get done in time.
