Uh, aren't you the guy who couldn't afford a set of spark plugs for your pickup a week or two ago?



Personal bias, but I'd never want a FWD race car. I hate the way they handle at the limit.

yeah. i also had a few bills i had to pay off. and also had missed some work cause i was like super sick. so my check sucked and i paid the bills and then the stupid plugs went crazy on me and now i have the money to get this within 2-3 weeks. just need my next check. and the only reason i want the FWD car is its a cheap start to racing. i wont want it for a really long time just a year or so maybe a lil longer when i start building my REAL dirt track car.

Looks like a disposable car to me. Really a good place to be spending your money when you're living paycheck to paycheck?

i know i know. just a thought. doubt i'll really do it. i think bout doing stuff like this alot and then sit and think about it and my senses come to me. thats like i've had a line on a bunch of parts for my truck. like GT40 heads and long tube headers and a new rear end. was gonna buy them but then sat and thought and was like no i cant cant afford to. and also i have 2 12's and an amp i've had for 3 months and havent gotten hooked up yet cause i havent wanted to since im trying to save to move out. even though i really want them hooked up i just dont feel like it.

So it sounds like you've got a lot of other better places to spend your money than something disposable. I'd hold off on the dirt racer idea

Might be good in a demo derby? Maybe I'll buy it.
