i appreciate it that you do, i know 20k is alot. but there are other people out there who dump 100k+ into some cars. now that is just rediculous...

then it gets stolen/wrecked and the insurance company only pays out like 3500 much money lost

wont get stolen. lol and i cant say im not gonna wreck it.. but im very observant of all my surroundings while driving.. just this winter i dodged 5 people merging into my lane without looking.. i always watch behind, on the sides and in front of me all the time. just because 99% of the people here do NOT know how to drive.

when they come into my lane i swerve into the shoulder or into the fast lane then flip em off for being an idiot.

cant say it wouldnt get stolen you never know! and all it takes is one idiot running a red light or using a laptop while driving to rear end ya and its over

you can usually fix any damage and it wont be a daily car.

AZFire316 · 04-26-2011, 11:39 PM

its your car your dream

but honestly speaking you can get fast for way less than 20K

sleepyalero · 04-26-2011, 11:48 PM

thank you! lol and it will be what i want and there will be a very sensative alarm system on it hahaha i just wish i could get it done now.. but gotta wait for cash flow.

its going to be just a nice day/weekend car. and want to get another alero for a daily.

I say go for it too, BUT.......i was just saying it because there are always newbs coming on here saying they are gonna do something like that. However, you are doing for yourself which is the important part!

20k is A LOT though, I won't even have that much and I think I could easily argue I have the most complete build going from top to bottom.....

Well duh.......none of us would have aleros if we wanted to go cheap/fast, we would all have fox-body mustangs with big direct port injection systems....

As far as the insurance, I wouldn't worry about it.....you get insurance for what it is worth in parts, so 25k......and then if it gets wrecked or jacked you get your 25k and you start over with a better design from things you've learned about your setup......
