Formula Pics (silver vs black) Whew, busy day of horse trading 
Here are the photos I snapped last night of my Silver racecar Formula in the sunlight, and the photos today of the black Formula I traded it for. With the cash I received on top of the trade, I picked up the 18" chrome iForged Aeros (used) from another member (Shane) on the way home.
both Formulas are 1998 models, the black one is an actual WS6, the silver one is a clone. The silver car is purely a heads/cam drag car, the black one is a street car with heads/cam and 12-bolt. The nice thing about the black one is that it only has 9,740 miles on it and is spotless. I was tired of having a drag-only car that I couldn't drive, and don't have time to race much anymore. Now I have one I can race occasionally and drive daily.

Exactly. If I were to build another racecar, it would probably end up looking exactly like the silver one I already had. That car looked killer to me. But, I couldn't enjoy it since I don't race on a weekly basis like I used to. I figured it was time to replace it before I spent another $20K on it

people always ask what I do for a living. I just drive my savings accounts around instead of leaving them in a bank. Usually the type of cars I buy go up in value more than a simple interest savings account
