7. How much money have you spent?
-After old parts were sold off, including body and audio, my cost probably 3000-3500
8. Do you ever feel satisfied? If not, why?
-Everyday. The more I do the more satisfied I feel. I personally have come to a point where I enjoy every single aspect about the car, as I've never focused attention on any one particular angle, but instead did everything IE: suspension, looks, audio, performance, and I'm extremely satisfied, however the bar is always raised every year and theres always new things to do, which only leave me more satisfied.

-Being able to walk up to someone I have never once met and have them instantly respect you, and you have the same back to them.
10. What are the problems you run into hooking up your car?
-Mechanically none, financially eh I spend some but its nothing that doesnt allow me to do anything else I want, you just have to work for what you want, and if you want more than just a car to show for your life then work that much harder
11. What makes your car unique?
-I'm a DSMer who doesnt have tunnelvision
12. On a scale of 1 – 10, (1 = know nothing about cars, 10 = Guru) how would you rate yourself?
8.5, the more I learn the more I find I still need to learn.
