Nothing will hit harder than life... first love is coming back home

I applaud you for thinking of your wife and family first! I put my 2 cars "on ice" for 27 years when my daughter was born. They literally never moved 1 inch from 1 week prior to her birth until 2019 when they were rolled out of my garage as "barn finds" and washed. Stopped racing, car shows, everything. I was blessed that I was able to hang onto them but they never moved or got looked at. Once our children were raised, educated, and moved out on their own, we decided to get the toys back out. I DO NOT regret my choice one bit and I believe you will feel the same way one day. Besides, you've already been able to get another cool new toy!! Bravo!

We did about the opposite. The entire family did the car thing from the time our oldest was born (spent part of his first car show in the back of Roland Osborn's Chrysler Power big rig with my wife and Roland's wife along with their son, Coleman, who was born the day after our son - they were 3-months old). Both sons built their first cars. We still do car stuff together...Alan's second car show (he's in the playpen in the background) with my '67 Barracuda (21 years before it became mine) and my wife's GTS in the background.

Every family does it different, but my best car buddies are my wife and younger son (I'd include my older son, but he doesn't live nearby...)
