Rant- don't read please!!!

I confess - in my past (recent and otherwise) I have been guilty of not following instructions. Bad on me, I read your post.

Now that I have ratted myself out, I can only agree completely with you. I've only been in this hobby (2nd time around) for 3 years, but I see a strong surge in stupid pricing. Any rusted, worn out, POS is gold plated and priced accordingly. I force myself to wait for the right parts and cars, at the right price. It takes patience and perseverance, but I'm getting there. I feel your pain, and I hope you can find a good solution in your marketplace.
