Thread: I've really lost it!!!!

Dave, my Ex-GF said to me one time, "Honey, how many cars do you NEED?" I told her it wasn't a matter of how many I needed, it was how many I WANTED.

Yes, you should get that car. It would be a blast to drive and every time you fire that baby up and stage you will feel like Garlits for about 9 or 10 seconds. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, DO IT.

Even a mild little Ford in there will put you in times you would have to spend big bucks on to achieve with a heavier, different style drag car. Plus it looks like it is really put together well.

You really didn't think a bunch of gearheads like us would tell you to pass on this deal, did you, and you KNOW Ken is a bad influence!

Dang it Don!!!! WHY did you make me watch that video???? You getting a kick back from the car seller or what????:

Fair warning--I'd have to consider my first road trip with the car to be to Florida---I'll set your butt in the car just so someone else would have to go out and spend all their hard earned money on a REAL toy!!!

Ran a rear engine car a few seasons, last one I had was an injected BBF--with all the noise and excitement behind you it almost got to be a boring ride...don't think that would happen with a front engine car...

Scooter and I have been PM'ing back and forth for a few years now about a nostalgia racer...this isn't really some spur of the moment impulse deal....I'm really going back and forth in my feeble brain over one of these front engine cars, or getting on my own version of a nostalgia door slammer.... Honest to God truth though, that rear engine car I had was the lowest cost weekly upkeep car I ever ran!!!! So light that parts breakage was nil--ran 80 to 100 passes every summer for three years--changed bearings and rings every winter as a preventive maintenance deal but not even that was essential.... Weekly maintenance was; change the oil filters, top off the oil, set the valves, wash the car, go over it with Meguiar's spray and shine, push it back in the trailer, wait for Sunday....


Anyhows, I sure didn't need to watch the video in that dang link you posted!!!!!!!!!

Why a Ford? I use them for starters That would be fun just as a noise maker.
