The cost of a car

After being out of it for a while I just decided that I missed racing and wanted to go again. I've "been there and done that" on buying a stock car, putting a BUNCH of time and money into it, and selling it for one reason or another; usually losing a ton on them. Decided there was a better way to do it. I wanted a street/street Impala SS and having built one before (and having to sell it during a divorce and lost my butt on it!) I knew exactly what I wanted and how it should be built. I found the exact car (very lucky I know) that I wanted less than two hours from me. I'm not ashamed to say the guy that built it had $40,000 in receipts (yes, I added them up) and it was built with very good parts and just the way I wanted it. He was getting married and had lost interest in the car so I got it for less than 1/4 of what he had in it and that doesn't even count his time. I hope to have this car forever and maybe change a few small things but I would personally never build one from scratch again.

I'll vouch for that one, especially the transmissions...
