The Down side of buying is that it's kinda never "Your" car.... But there
is no question about costs involved.... it's cheaper by a bunch to buy a
used race car then it is to build one from the ground up.
I think Earl Wooden got the job done of his car being HIS car.... but if you
ask Tom Bryant I think you would find the statement pretty close to true...
There is something kinda cool about hot rodding a car thou.... taking what
you bought and making it better... or at least that's the way its been for
me
