i was kinda tired of the truck. it was really too fast to race on the street. not much competition and unsafe running that quick. to go any quicker at the tracks would have been a real pain geting all the safety equipement and the cost would be prety high from everything needed upgraded. the difs and motor for sure needed beefed up. thats along with the safety equipment would be another $10k+
i am having a blast working on these group projects we have going on. things cost like 1/3 to do and get done much faster. we have a good group that gets along well together. probably wouldn't work for everyone. building a 9sec can in a matter of months for about $1500 of my own money(maybe $4k total) was a lot of fun.
the nova we are doing should be in the 8's. probably be into the car for around $10k total. so far it has been fun working on. dont miss the truck at all. besides all that i have a nice chunk of change set aside to go into an insane garage as soon as the winter breaks.

and about the truck going to mexico. i work construction. lots of hispanics are in construction in one way or another. i seem to get along well with 90% of them. very nice group of people. in general they seem to have a strong work ethic and tight family relationships. if i have any preconcived ideas about a "mexican" they would be all positive. i am thrilled to see the truck being used for what it was built for.

Get it?
XLR8NSS has even brought this up before and it is still going on. Bans were gonna be handed out according to him but I doubt it has happened.
