Seriously though, you know you love that car. You put waaaaaay too much time and money into it to let it go.[/quote]

I know money always factors into things, but I for one believe that it's more about time invested than money.

That too. Time is more important than money because you can't place a value on it.

Talk about being all over these posts with funny little pictures. lol


No, I would say time is more a factor in this because:

He really started this project almost 4 years ago. I've gotten to see the frustration, amount of thinking, consideration, research and planning that went into this car. After a complete setup for 15G's and then spinning a bearing on the dyno, it was like starting back from scratch for a full new setup for E316G's. Now that the car is home and he's coming across (what I call minor but can feel like major issues) more problems getting it ready for a final tune, it (in my mind) feels like the beginning phase all over again.

At least that's how I know I would feel.

who cares, it's just a stupid car. Want to buy it Eric? haha

Going up to Ray's tonight, we're going to thrash it a bit. With my luck I'll be flying or taking the train home.

Like I said, I don't have all that much, but if you'll take my car and my Jeep, I think we could work something out, haha.
