Default Re: Motor build cost.

Gary,

You're right of course, but on a practical basis how many of us are going to put near that number of miles on one of these cars? I drive my car a lot in the summer up here in Minnesota, and I put about 20,000 miles on it over that last 10 years. When you're on a fixed income, you have to consider the cost benefit analysis of this. I'll let you know if I'm right or not in 20 years (when I'm 95)!

If I didn't have the hemi in my dirt car already built, you'd be building my next engine!

Hopefully I'll be here too waiting for you!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Go to sign off for tonight, wish you all a "Happy Thanksgiving". Don't "stuff" yourselves tomorrow!
