Its been a sombering Wk - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

As most of you know I have been trying to sell the car and havent had much luck. Winter is coming so I decided to part the car of all the performance stuff. I was trying to work a deal with someone local to me to buy all front brakes, suspension, TA, bolt in cage and harness, turn-key package. I totaled up in retail prices what it would cost me to replace everything and I just about fell over. aprox 4100 bucks. I never sat down to think really what in cost wise I had in all this stuff. Im going to miss the old girl. I will hold onto the car till the spring when sports car prices go back up and run it through the auction.

As you can tell Im kinda bumbed about doing this. The money I got so far is nice but, I hope I don't regret anymore doing this. Everything is sold that I posted less a few items. Then I move on to putting the motor back to stock and selling those parts. Some of the stuff went to a couple member here. Thanks

Glad I kept most of the stock pieces.

Sorry for the vent so to speak.

I keep a spread sheet with most of the money I've spent on my car. Right now it's almost $9000 over 30 months with another $1500 coming for the cage in a few weeks. It seems like a lot, but if you break it down it's under $100/week. I have buddies who'll go blow that at the bar almost every weekend. When I look at it that way, I don't feel nearly as bad. At least I have something to show for the money and I'll actually remember all the fun I had (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Or I could just be a speed addict who's looking for a way to justify the habit... Haha.
