Lose my $570 car payment/hobbies?

I basically already know the answer but it's not easy. My car is my hobbies. I'm in car shows and car clubs, but I believe I should trade my car in for a cheap ice up truck so I can save money faster for my first investment property. Reason for a pick up truck is because I am very handy and I'm also an hvac service technician. Any comments?

@Jason Branch I would have to agree with Edmund on some of his points.  Pick up some extra side gigs for HVAC, wish you were in Dallas then I could give you some.  I'd definitely nix the hobby for now, buy a truck and start saving/saving/saving.  I drove a 2000 F250 for 15 years with 400k miles and just finally gave in and bought a new F350.  You need to sacrifice now in order to escape the rat race and live a better future.  Best of Luck!!
