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.
