I wasn't picking on you at all.

Was just saying like woh, he must have some serious discretionary income.

Giving Marc the benefit of the doubt, I think he was saying, since you make good money and obviously have been frugal and wise with it, that you'd have the money to go all out on paint.

I understand that. I have to admit I fully expect to smash this thing into the wall at the track or ditch when something breaks.... its hard for me to put money into something I dont see being a investment. I guess thats how ive always been.. if I paint it nice that wouldnt really make it worth more sold or wrecked. Its still a crappy s15... All the parts ive put on can be pulled off and swapped onto a different ls engine so thats kinda a "investment" in my eyes I suppose... ive always been a function over form kind of guy. Ive had decent vehicles tho. My escalade and tdi jetta are pretty nice vs the s15 I guess lol... not a gtr or other super car nice tho...

Anyways, back to racing! Whose plannin on makin some passes and puttin up some more slips?

Live there with pride buddy while alot are paying 1200+ house payments! When you get a new place you can rent your current paid for property for enough to pay majority of your house payment. **** ppl that don't like it.

Hitting the track on the 13th. I'm going to make some easy runs on my street tires to see how the car is tune wise. It's probably pig rich at the moment. Can't wait!

Counts as my slowest run that was recorded on a time slip...I've had 1 run that never even hit the 60 ft mark when I sheared my gears. lol

Stoopid gopro didn't record on that run. The boom was loud enough to be heard in the pits. lol
