You too? What the F*** is happening with everybody's cars?

You always had a kit, and then you got the new motor after some trouble, didn't you?

Its pretty easy to get burned out with these, need a large budget and a lot of time even for a moderate effort and thats not a luxury a lot have. Not like the old days when I had 3500.00 total in a whole 11 second car lol.

I'm sure you will find something else to spend money on

That is still possible, just have to spend wisely, an prepare for breakage.... I picked up a cheap 95 roller, looks the same on the inside... kinda.

Pickup a nice crack habit; I hear it's slightly cheaper than FI these days and easier on your family as well...
