I am being honest......383 HP or 440 at the min, console is a close second......and little/no rust issues. I don't see the need to spend 10K for a car, than pay another 5 to have it painted. I'd love a tilt wheel, but that can always be added, if one can be found.

The GA car is very tempting with the 440 HP

Sure it is ..........

But you've been there before

I guess the bottom line is: What is your total budget???? MAX! Be honest on what the total is where you can NOT say no?

 

[mdh157]

between 10 and 15 without going into places for money that I should not go into.........if you know what I mean. Thanks to that NJ trash Jon Corzine I am out $3000 from this MFG mess, will be years before I get it back, if I ever do. That would have been car money. And that total includes whatever I have to spend to get the car here and registered.

Anyone that thinks the Govt is out to help them is delusional......regardless of which political party is in. When push comes to shove, they all protect each other.

I would like to point to the current NJ governor and say he is the exception.

 

[mdh157]

Yeah, sure he is....In PA they need the money, they say. Funny, a few years ago they gave themselves a 50% pay increase (legis/cabinet, etc).

But you know, voters love to be screwed, they keep voting the same trash in, keep listening to the same broken promises.

That's enough of that rant, I don't think we are supp to be talking politics here anyway. Back to another rough topic for me, car hunting.

Mark, part of the advantage of "building" your dream car is that you can start with a lower purchase investment and spread the cost out over time, say... a year. You've already wasted that much time looking.
I couldn't afford to drop 15K at one time on a collector car.... I now have less then that invested in a car thats valued at more then that. Plus I've had a lot of fun seeking parts, services and advise. Met some great people along the way and have a car that has no secrets from me.

There are some things you can't put a price tag on...
Well said.

 

[mdh157]

the red one stan posted from MOPARTS has been sold.........i knew that wouldn't take long.Perhaps I ought to buy the burgundy one before it's gone.......fusey convs are getting even harder to find than they used to be

 

[commando1]

No. You can't buy the burgundy one. We'll no longer be able to hear you say "nice, but..." evertime we show you another car to buy.

1. I'm gonna show these pics to my wife. She has mentioned a convertible & one of those things black & slammed would be pretty cool.

2. Give him a break already. Money doesn't just magically appear & he keeps telling you guys that but you don't seem to hear it. He'll find the right car at the right time. What's the big hurry?

3. Commando is fucken funnnny.

 

[commando1]

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little effed up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to frighin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how?
How am I funny?
I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the frig am I funny, what the frig is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
