Tire Kickers
I have been wanting to get a pulse of what others think of this subject, people who want you to give them something for nothing. I have an add in the classified section and on Racing Junk. I have a received a couple calls with varying questions; does it have a title, is it street legal, is it a rust bucket, can you send pics etc. One of the things I don't understand is what is the deal with titles and race cars? The last time I checked MPR, Qauy, F.J. Smith, Bickel, and Haas etc. didn't give out titles, if they do someone please enlighten me. When I bought my car I got a bill of sale, I didn't intend on driving it on the street and if I did I could use that bill of sale to get a title. Street legal; how many real race car buyers are looking in the classifieds of pages like Racing Junk, ND, DR, or here on Class Racer for a street car? not many that I have seen. I don't know many cars that have 5.67 gears and 14x32 slicks that are street legal but there could be. One gentlemen called and asked a bunch of questions, asked me to complare my car to Joe's and I wouldn't do it. I don't know Joe, I only know my car. Then last but not least car value; I don't own an MPR, PMR, Quay, F.J. Smith, or Wisecarver built car but it is a well built peice and I think I have it priced right for what it is. It amazes me how people want you to give you stuff away; I don't know where you can find a car that is NHRA certifed and is almost ready to run with minor changes for the price I have my vehicle listed at. Yet I have had people tell me it's more work they they want to do, if adding carpet and a seat to vehicle to make it legal to race is too much work I don't know what to tell a person.
I'm going to get off my soap box, I am sure no one cares but I needed to vent so I figured I let it out here. I am sure some folks have been through the same stuff.
