What do you guys do when you're at an all time low? Options

For some of you guys who know me on here or know me on a personal level, you've seen my celica transformation over the year. I have had my car for about a year and 7 months.

I've went from having a stock motor stock body celica to a 5sfTe celica to a gt-four front end 3sgte swap celica in that period of time. I used to come home and spend time on ebay to look for nice parts for my celica or browse and drool over others on this site on what they've done. But being a student and only working part time, I don't have the money to do the things I've done to the car.

I am a little bumbed out because all my celica buddies around me have big things going on for their motors. Either building it up or upgrading to a larger turbo for more fun. I had plans for suspension work for auto crossing, but I just feel like giving up on her. Just no time and money.

Lift up my spirits guys.

I clean things.

I clean things.

That's exactly what I was gonna say too.

I'm on a perpetual budget - and it sucks. I just had to pass up a full set of OEM leather seat covers from a 99 Celica for $150 on eBay. How gay is that!? But alas, I have other responsibilities that absolutely MUST be taken care of. I'd rather have running water than leather seats, ya know? The City of Portland doesn't give a sh1t about my aspirations and hobby with my car LOL

So my car's been down for 2 weeks w/a bad clutch, and I just got to drive it home last night. It's dirty as hell after sitting for 2 weeks too. I wanna throw new tires on and finally fix my suspension but alas, the GB was short and I didn't make enough to buy new tires. So... I'm gonna focus on what I CAN do. I can vacuum it out, detail the interior, make it smell nice, give it a decent washing, and maybe even this weekend put up my ceramic coated exhaust manifold I've had sitting around for like 2+ months. Those little details can make you feel like you have a whole new car, and IMO it's the small details that truly add up to the big picture.
