Im not insuring 2 vehicles and I dont want to drive a total POS car everyday. Ive had my van for almost a year and a half, had the system a while, and just wanna do something new.
The Express just gives so many problems and has cost me so much money to fix all these problems. Thats not going to change, its just going to keep giving me problems and going to keep costing alot of money. Im not willing to do it. I didnt even want a new van in the first place, I always wanted an old beater for SPL.
As for the money Ive put into it, I could sell all the equipment and end up with more money then I put into it.
I just want an old crappy Astro that I dont care about that just sits and is there for when I want to work on it and bring it out to some shows. It will never be driven, not be insured, and just sit in the garage back at my house 90% of the time. Im not looking for another vehicle, just basically a big stereo that happens to be in a van that I can tow to shows. Driving the Express everyday is just a reminder of the problems I have and how stressed I get about it. I will have grey hair before Im 25 if I keep that thing.
Pretty sure Im going to get rid of it, buy a daily, and work on selling off the equipment. Then when I get it all sold off, buy a cheap van and start saving money to build one of the loudest Astros out there. My van now is loud, and it does what I built it to do, play all types of music and demo for basically as long as I want. I think when the time comes around down the road Im going to do a monster Bassrace build... Hopefully something that would meter low 160s on music. I would build the thing myself, just to see how good of a monster box I can build without help.
Anyway, did a quick job on that door. Used some Bondo Hair to strengthen it, primered it, sprayed it, then cleared it. Doesnt look amazing, but it looks better than a gaping hole in the door.
