New to the list

[Beatty, Robert]

I dont see how hes an A-hole for give his opinion that you may have spent
too much on your car.  

I'd have to agree with him... they are a really cheap car to get these
days... i paid 1800USD for my 87 5ktq and that was prolly a little too much
considering the work i have done to it.
