I have always operated under the assumption that money I spent on something for cars/racing was like water under the bridge----gone down stream-----

like a licked stamp ---------
postmarked stamp on an arriving bill----money gone but more will soon be needed
etc, etc, etc------

the things I still have an value on aren't for sale--------------I'm gonna use em someday------maybe--
inventory----one flathead, hemi, 8:71 polished blower, dry sump stuff, several transmissions---4 speed lenco, 4,5,6 speed sticks, autos, rear ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!drive shaft couplers--------------did i mention carbs???? 3 or 4 pair of 4500 dominators, others too many to mention-----------
