Quite a nice car. Doesn't the premise behind the story happen to almost all of us, though? Think about it - all the time you spend tinkering / building /tuning the car. Assign a value to all those hours, now add the parts pricing. No one ever gets out the amount they REALLY have in the car. I think if you get half or more - you're probably doing ok. Of course, when you are talking further up the scale, such as this car, then that loss becomes a whole lot more significant. However, if your playin the game at stakes that high, the loss is probably proportionate to what many or most of us here have in similarity.
