Lol. Man, it was bliss to be young and have no fear!! Around 1979 I drove a girlfriend from PA to CT in the winter, in a Dodge van with L60 tires...and it snowed halfway!!
Now we have more regard for hard-earned money and worry too much.
I totally understand having a lot of money in an engine. I quit keeping track of my build when I hit $6k, but that includes headers (Dougs) and torque converter.
