Patrick,

I cannot say I disagree with you on that point. I just dropped over $300 for a starter. Its like Ford parts vs Chevy, Fords seem much more expensive. I never had a Nissan but drove my brothers 69 427 Vette and it did not ride as nice as my ERA. $5200 for a outboard brake rearend is also not inexpensive nor is any aluminum block engine.

It is a little bit of a double edged sword though in that it keeps the values of our cars up. I however likely could not afford to build new of what I have now as the price would push close to $80k or more. The only think cheap I have found yet that works great is the Turtle Wax spray on bug and tar remover!
