Quoted for the MF'n Truth!
Once you realize that you can spend less than HALF of what it costs you to buy a mildly pre-built car, and just sort out the little things, it doesn't take a genious to pick a better route.
I have $14k+ freaking tied up in my stang. 14 freaking grand, to have a complete h/c/i, with a decent rear/drivetrain and paint/bodywork nice wheels brakes suspension etc.
I currently have a very slow 14k car with vaccum leaks.
My buddy just picked up a 331'd car with more in alot of departments for 5k cause it needed a coil and some tlc.
He's like 6k in right now, with a stroker, on a lower milage car.
Once you grow up a little and realize your rediculous decision of dumping utter thousands into your fox, you will see its FAR more economical to sell what you have right now, take that modding $, and go buy one that is more suited to your needs and just fix the dumb ****.
Otherwise you spend 3x as much and still have to fix the dumb ****.
Yea, I built it. Big deal. I'd trade it for a c5 z06 and a loan payment if I could get back what I got in this car like yesterday.
As you grow up, you'll realize this **** doesn't matter much. Cars are headache and I want a house to live in rather than drive a clapped out fox I built myself.
