He still had the BB Chevy from his old car sitting there, so in it went.


As much as he has spent on the ones he has blown up, he could have bought one by now. It seems like every episode he destroys and engine.

I agree, but he may be in the same situation a lot of us are in, including myself...when something breaks, a lot of times it's much cheaper to just fix what broke versus making a big change. He'd have to fix it anyway to be worth selling, by the time he did that, I bet he's rushing to get it back out and racing so back in it goes. Probably more of a schedule thing unless he just has a ton of money set aside for a new project. He might, but he doesn't strike me as one of the SO members that has benefitted a whole lot money-wise from this deal. I could be wrong though.
On a side note, Dominator is a hell of a nice guy. After I initially talked to him at the track, he came and found me later that night just to check my car out. Really nice guy to talk to...much more so than some of the other SO guys.
