Just curious how many have scaled back, scaled back considerably or outright had to park your car because of the economy?

And along with that, how many have done any of the above, not based on actual events, but fear of something happening that would make curtailing your "fix" inevitable?

For me, my regional race schedule hasn't changed, but the TnT days and out of region events have been scratched. And not because of being laid off or anything, just burying my coffee cans in the backyard in case I do.

If I didn't have a great group of sponsors and wasn't able to trade instructing for registration, then the story would probably be differnet.

I'm starting to consider (super seriously consider) selling (or parting out) my car. I'm thinking of having a giant sale, unloading the stuff (parts, furnature, spares, some tools, etc) I can and downsizing to go back to school. I'm not sure how I'll get rid of my house without just filing bankruptcy, but since nobody wants to loan money anyway, it may not really hurt me that bad if I did.

My job is still pretty safe, I just hate it. So, I'm looking for ways to afford a pay cut. Maybe I'll go back to bartending or something and take some classes.
