    This is why I’m such a good car nerd. Ive built dozens of high performance cars with tools, ive built THOUSANDS using google.

    At the moment Im spreadsheet building a new drag car. Before I buy a single part I know if its going to go together the way I plan, what all the major parts are going to cost and what jobs Ill have to send out and what they will cost. The weights and measurements of most parts and what kind of end quarter mile results it will put me in the ballpark of.

        The sad thing is that as cars get more complicated, google is getting thousands of times worse and old forums and photobucket accounts get deleted its becoming very hard to do these days.

        Also its kind of horrifying how fast all the parts prices add up, nothing takes the shine off the terrible (awesome) idea you have like realising you will spend $20k and take 2 years to lose a race to a $10k used car.
