Good photography, I love the view. Would you send me this pic?

[DatUtahGuy]

Good shots everyone, I wish I could have rolled with a caravan to get some action shots of my car, oh well, good times anyway.

That's a 35k car tops. Dude was heavily exaggerating You don't spend 17k on a paint job then drive it on grass and through mud. 100k = garage queen

Where do you get this shit from? I actually know the owner personally. Definitely NOT exaggerating. The car has had zero expenses spared on anything.

Get your facts straight before talking.

I'm not seeing the image for some reason. I tried a reload.
Will try w/ IE instead of Mozilla FF later, but, is it gone now?

I love that "Stuntah" animated .gif though!

Its pretty easy to spend that kind of money on a car if good people are doing the work. And a Metric Mechanic rebuild on an s14 with the Alpha N setup and many man other upgrades can easily reach those figures.

The man speaks the troof! He told me the motor was like $25k...wish I had that kind of coin for a motor rebuild.

Just for the record he's not running Alpha-N, he's on a Miller MAF setup. Basically a plug and play. And I did speak to, I believe his name is Erik, at the picnic, he's an old Hot Rod guy. If anyone knows hot rod guys they typically go all out. He didn't cut any corners, and plus if you buy factory parts they are much more expensive than others. You could easily bury yourself in your car. I don't doubt his pocket book expense. After all he did let me borrow his $8k camera setup he was rolling with.

detailed information is available for serious inquires.

I'm still skeptical of $100K. Unless he has some insane one-off billit block and head, I'm calling BS

[cramer]

Who cares what he spent, it's nice car regardless.
