Stop investing so much time to find cheap parts and such. Invest your time wisely to create more income so you can afford quality products and services.

Priceless!

Either way, it's a "cheap" car in comparison to what it can beat up on. What's valuable to you? Being seen in a Viper or smoking one in a pile of crap? Weird comparison, I know... but you get my point about value.

If you know what you're doing, you don't have to spend a fortune for speed. I think that KNOWLEDGE is probably the biggest money saver of all, and while it has no affect on value whatsoever, it has a huge impact on quality and performance.
awesome way to think of it and totally true.

Getting a second job is what most people do when they think of making more $$$. Unfortunately, you would still be trading time for dollars. What you need to do is learn to 'build pipelines' instead of 'hauling buckets'.

By the way... :usa:

you can still buy certian "cheap parts" but when it comes to major things like electronics or fuel system i would look for used brand names or new ones
