If you think cars, in general, are expensive.... and that Hot Rods are even more expensive.... Buy a race car and find out what "expensive" means.

Life is expensive! Another friend of ours said it best. “Don’t spend more on a race car than you’re willing to blow in Vegas, or flush down the toilet” I’m not willing to do either so, no “race car” for this guy....yet.

Now a well handling V8, manual, street car is an affordable way of getting some seat time....I’m finding out that they cost money as well.

Just here to help.
This car has been the best bang for buck car yet... so far.

2018 could see some improvements to this car.... as the driver improves
