Know what bothers me more? Paint, primer, etc... about $400 tops for a simple job. Cost to have your car painted in most any body shop? $2k :| Robbery I tells ya.
You cant buy a gallon of good paint for $400 anymore. Primer is over $100 a gallon so is clear. If you can get a paint job for 2K your doing good.
I totally understand inflation guys, everything but our wages are bound to go up, these cars obviously arent being made anymore but there are to many guys out there trying to make a killing buying and selling cars and parts.
Maybe Im just jealous or maybe its that I would rather lose money to help someone out and see them enjoying what was a huge part of my life for the last 18 years. Either way it sucks that I cant afford to play this game anymore.
