The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVI

Rusty

He will never see that $85K. Be lucky to get $40K. And who ever buys it, is getting a problem child.

LOL, That car has been apart so many times it definitely shows it. It is very difficult to pull one down and make it look like it has never been
touched when it goes back together.

JARblue

Let me know. I'll take your Fuji front bumper

There's a Zele exhaust in the FS section right now. I wanted to buy it but I managed to convince myself it wasn't the right time.

I wanted to snap it up as soon as I saw it listed but job security was out the window. I drool over it every once in a while.

Man, that thing is going to hang on the wall or be made into a couch for what it costed me to get it here I also like the idea of being able to play Mr. Potato Head with the car.

JLarson

No joke. I love my Z, but would never spend 85k for it, doesn't matter how much hp it's pushing.

That is what happens over time. You spend little bit by little bit and then you look up and have more than that in it. I can guarantee he is taking a beating at that price.

Rusty

Parts plus labor, even if it's your own labor adds up real quick.

If I had to guess with as many redo's as he had, I would beat he has spent between 200 to 250k in the car. At the end of the day he can spend his money on whatever he wants. Whatever makes him happy. I know he has started a family and priorities changes. My suggestion to him would be to keep it. He will want that car back later in life. I am sure he has taken a ton of hate because of the car. I get the same and I am not even in that ballpark. Folks just need to be respectful of his choices and be happy for him. I know I built my car for me and nobody else.

Rusty

He's an easy high 6 figures in that car. I agree with you that he should keep it. There is a couple of cars and bikes I wish I would have kept. Like you said. His decision. He's starting another chapter in his life with starting a family. Maybe he feels he needs to get away from some things. Like his Z. My TransAm's was a major sore spot with wifey #1. Wasn't for her. I think I would still have TransAm #2.

My PowerWagon, the Z. and bike. I'm going to try and hang on to them for as long as I can. I have to much in them. There's nothing out there to replace them. Plus I still enjoy them.

I am at 6 figures before motor build #2. My numbers are close. The only way to get my money back is to drive it and enjoy it.

JLarson

No hate from me, totally agree that he can enjoy his money the way he wants. I just doubt he'll get 85k. Who knows, maybe somebody will come in, be wowed by the magazine feature, and buy the car.

Morning all! Happy Monday. Took off Friday to extend the weekend a bit, wife and I celebrating our anniversary. Normally we'd travel, but that's still out for now.

Congrats on the Anny, how many years are you claiming?
