$ rules, E.T. is nice. If you know of a car for 400, and you can sell 1000k off of it, do you really need this race to make this decision....????? LOL ! I'm now thinking you are trying to find a loop holes in the rules. If this is truly the case, go play someplace else. Again, it has already been discussed, that if your Dad "gives" you a 500 dollar induction system because your "his son", then you can't say there is no cost. Also, this is for fun, you don't win anything, and you are not going to even be the "king of FABO"! lol..

The point is...scrounging, flipping, and making deals was and still is the core of budget car building. That's how I did it back then, because I worked part time at a grocery store! No one gave me anything...I got my hands greasy every damn day tearing parts cars apart, pissing off the neighbors with air tools running and lights blaring till midnight or later.

Anyway...the reason for doing it now would teach newbies how to stretch their dollars and go fast as cheap as possible. The whole point, right?
