Never in my life would I have thought it would come to this

But that's the thing with talking money.

I love my Mopars. You can keep just about anything else. Those are my dreams and my fun. Can you really put a price tag on a dream?

"Oh, look! It's cheaper to build a Chevy."

That's okay if you dream about owning a Chevy.

If one is in the hobby to save money, then it's the wrong hobby. It *all* costs money. Rather I have a Camaro that I can get a fender for $400 or a Barracuda that the fender costs me $600, either way I'm that much poorer. $400 is still $400. If I wanted to "save" the extra $200, might as well find something else to do and save the $400, too.
Yup, agreed.
