Once I get where I want to be and the desire is back, I'll put a brawler together. Maybe I'll just buy yours when the Wife puts her foot down.

It always amazes me when discussing our hobby with people... how many people are trying to build a 100K car on a 75K salary. I shake my head to try to clear out the cobwebs hoping I didn't hear incorrectly. I just paid 15K to the upholstery shop for Rudys Camaro... and I wonder how long it would take for someone to "save" this amount... and how much it would EARN if put into something important vs upholstery!

I just read that people are once again using their homes as piggy banks... there were numbers to back up the claim.

I find this absolutely STUNNING.... apparently "we" never learn from our past mistakes.
