No, not quite because when you pay for crack, you get something in return:rolleyes:

Not what's been bothering me but that would have made my stomach burn, reminds me of when Rupp got hit while driving Bad Penny after finishing his build. That would drive me to drinkin':cheers: :lateral:

I tried drinking a few margaritas but they ended up too salty after I kept crying into them.

I do know how you feel though. I picked up another project a while ago, and decided I was going to cut it all up and modify all kinds of stuff, and I was going to try to do it mostly myself. Some days I only get half an hour of work done on it before walking away. That car will probably get done one day. I just try to focus on each part rather than trying to see it as a whole car.

Don't think for a moment it ends when the build ends. We'll that is if you drive the piss out of it like they are made for...

No doubt. And the aftermarket parts can be a challenge..


Either we leave it stock, or we just live with the rough patches between severe beatings..Kinda like a Marraige..:willy:

You know, this just proves there is a bright side to everything----mostly because I ended up with the subframe---but your redesign, especially of the hood---was also a major happy face.

But, yeah--that did blow---following in the foot steps of Bad Peso---
