I can flip the switch and make sparks but no dime stacking yet...

Some definite good ideas here. I cant wait till i can snag myself a 200dx and am good enough to build a roll cages and stuff. I'll cruise over to Grainger and check some stuff out. See what sort of deals my brother can get being that his company is a supplier for them so they get stuff at cost just so I can see what im in for money-wise.
