Sadly, I won't be attending Watkins Glen or any events this summer.

I'm so close to be 100% debt free and I just can't do it. I will however, still be working on the car all summer/fall/winter so when next season comes it'll be a done deal.

Being responsible sucks

Unfortunately, my Z's fate is hanging in the balance. I've been burning the candle at both ends at work, working 60- 80 hours a week and the other day on the ride home I nodded off and lost control for a split second. I was able to regain control for about 15 yards missing a very large ditch and ended up clipping a jersey barrier where the car finally came to a rest.

I walked away unscathed, but the passenger side is screwed. So now it's up to insurance to decide where it goes from here.

So all I can really say is: If you're feeling tired, just pull over and sleep it off. No need to be a hero.
