Default Would it be a bad idea...

If I took out a second mortgage on my house to fund a bullet proof forced induction 396 stroker with nitrous, full exhaust, 4:10's out back and the best of everything : D

Actually it depends. Has your doctor asked you to pay for future visits in advance?

A business acquaintance has on 05 Saleem Mustang Vert for the wife and just got himself a new C6. His car payments are over $2000 a month.
Seems nutty to me, but he is very happy, so just wish him more happiness. Sad part is he and wife are over the road truck drivers, so they don't get as much 'home time' as most couples. But they sure enjoy it when they do.

You'd need a second to buy a tanker truck for mid air refuels.

I got one on the way... I wonder what the black market will give for a new born???
Actually I was thinking about a refi on my house because of the loan structure I got when I bought it. I got to thinking about some home repairs I'd consider if I got a tad more than I needed... then I thought about adding headers to my car and the whole thing snowballed from there. I wouldn't actually do it... but the thought of how fast my car could be does excite me just a bit.

Sounds nice, keep up the positive intentions Chris, things have a way of working out, beleive me, and positive intention is a great start, set your goals, set them high, you can do it, a way will be made to make it so.

I'd do it if I lived by myself and no family to support. I was looking at that B&B Performance and i'd buy that huge 632 ci w/ nitrous. Cut a hole in the hood to make it fit
