I bought my Maverick because it was different and affordable. Next, I met a guy who's Mav turned 8.64 @ 167. I saw what was possible. Then, I joined this forum and learned, based on my ability, what was feasible. Finally, I have my own project conceptions and am pursuing what, I believe, is enjoyable. What more could anyone want out of their hobby (obssession, for some of you )? To me, the most valuable car is the one I'm working on; however I choose to work on it.
