CHEAP people....let's see your stories about those frugal folks that were smart or really annoying!

My wife says I'm cheap, I say I'm frugal. Always had what I really needed, not very often what I wanted. Had lots of friends, and nice people I met in the "hobby". Thay gave me their "castoffs", or sold me parts for reasonable prices. I built my current drag car on a shoestring. Took 3 years of chasing parts, bought the car from a salvage yard, did all the work myself, and had it to the track for $1500 total into the car. 66 Valiant, slant six. First night out, ran high 15's.. That weekend doing some track work got into the 13's. I now have about $3,000 into the car, and runs mid to high 12's
