Oh I fully agree. Its purely a cost thing. I dunno im super hard on myself about achieving and hitting goals and I feel like I might of gave up early and compromised on the M. Im not mad about it just feel like I had a goal of a P and I settled for an M. I know how awful that sounds but kinda my feeling.

Absent the P-Car I would be in an M car without a doubt.

FWIW your car looks sick. I'm following your build thread to see how it develops.

Appreciated. Waiting on parts unfortunately and **** brand to finish some parts. Really appreciate it! Im toying with several ideas on the direction of the build and am struggling based off lack of support at the moment.

Yeah, being a trailblazer comes with the headache of waiting for things to be developed and trial & error testing for everybody else.

Plenty of P cars to be had out there, prices across the board have gone up, but there's still deals out there depending on what you want.

I confess that I am very close to tears every time I think of my dead budgie and recall our past nearly 16 years. I hope that time eases the pain and that I stop counting the days past his dead

Not sure what a budgie is without google, so its either a small bird of an annoying noise making device.

Regardless, sorry for your loss

This is true, because 50 can only go inside 25 once.

Then there's a heart attack and 50 becomes 0.
