OK time to come back into the sport
Well things are coming together for me. Family just got back into a house, got myself a decent job, the Datsun is coming along very nicely(translation: its in pieces 
), and I just bumped into a former teammate from way back when aka what was called last year. He said that he has been playing with a few others, got himself a few sponsorships, and needs some more players for next year.
I have gone a whole year without playing, and I guess his words were like a wake up call. In the back of my mind, my brain was saying, "Hey Matt, you need to blow alot of money, right? Who needs a wallet full of cash every week? Thats for losers. What better way then getting that high when you shoot out half the other team, grabbing the flag in the blaze of glory, that feeling of knowing when you just bunkered somebody and moving on to your next unsuspecting victim, that stinging shock feeling of getting bunkered, well forget that feeling. Just remember all the good times with friends staying out late, being dog tired at the end of a tournament, and the memories of THE mag. Don't you think you need to get back into paintball? Its been long, a long time friend, time for Tom Kaye to lead you back to glory, to bring you into the light once again." I replied to myself, "Amen." The race was on to get things planned and in order to get all things necessary by the end of the school year.
Step one:Cannibalization...ing
First thing: Need to go through the scraps of a broken past. Going through the closet, opening up the boxes, I recovered the busted up 2k1 Angel from last season. Bad board, breech release broken, bah I won't be able to get $300. Most of my gear like my pants, jersey, pack, etc I have given away to my friends since they really needed it. Heck I thought I was never going to play paintball again. Damn my teammate! I blame it all on him, getting me all excited. Oh well, keep a mental note to add curse on him later. On to see what else I can scrounge up.
After much digging, things look a little bleak for things I can sell to get all new bling bling. An Angel, a year old case of Big Ball, Angel tool kit, two revolutions, 68ci 3000psi Pure Energy tank, charger for the POS, extra ball detents, couple of 9v's, LX kit for the mag I miss so much*kicks self for selling it for an angel*, old bolt for the mag*kicks self again*, various orings/parts, a shiny pro connect, and...wow thats it. Kinda sad. When getting back into things, you thought you still had a lot of things that you left. Oh well on to step two: The Planning. Muhahahaha.
The Planning
This is where I need AO's help. This is where I need your help. There are a bunch of smart, intelligent people on this board, also some people who like to reply to any post like a flies on crap, I don't care, just need some help deciding on what to do. Any input will be considered helpful(including those pie comments because pie is good). So far I have a few options:
1. The Ghetto Route
Sell the Angel, get a blowback, and use the money on everything else. This would be the cheaper route because I can spend the rest of the money on gear. Gear like Dickies work pants for paintball pants, Goodwill shirts for jerseys, duct tape for elbow pads. The ultimate sleeper :) Also means more money for the Datsun, she really needs a brand new wiring system.
2. The Real Deal
I could fix up the Angel by sending it to TAG with $200 for repairs or ...do what I feel is right. I want to hold that of which I haven't touched in a long time, a precious mag. I had a mag once. That sleek chrome powerfeed tube, the crisp, bounce of that RT trigger, the hummmmmm of paint as I pluck the Dye double trigger frame with the subtle chuff chuff after out shooting the revolution. Ahh it was a beautiful thing, me, myself and mag, as one. This means I would have to sell the Angel for something, pull money from the job, and get me one of those spiffy RT customs on the store website. Sell Angel, pay half, pay the rest, work a lot more, buy the rest of the gear which will consist of used pants, goggles, packs, pods, etc.
3. The Bling Bling
Sell my soul, get anything I want. Or bust my butt for 3 months, not saving any money and just getting whatever I want. No money for the project car Datsun, no eating, no nothing, just saving all my money until I become a former shell of myself and be a starved paintball maniac machine.
What do you think I should do?
I can't wait to play, its been so long. Ive had withdrawl symptoms from not playing in so long. Paintball is my antidrug, ok more like drug, I say to all of you, don't ever quit, it sucks.
So a year has passed, my game is probably all out of whack. Whats the news lately?

Sorry, Don't have

It starts up conversations, its a two seater, looks very nice, and once I'm done with it, it will be a chick magnet. 
Good luck on selling it though!
NO HUGE EXHAUST, WINGS, or ALTEZZA LIGHTS! Im a personal fan of the old Ferrari 250 GTO. Yummy!
