Tow fuel isn't a big extra expense, I agree. Life with negative cash flow is. The car will still sit. 6 years now. Off to work for another 12 hour day, so I can live negative. Exillerating, whoopee.

Damn! whats the situation --- if i may ask ?

12 hour shift jobs usually pay decent....?

im deep in debt---but i have a self set budget that allows me NO entertainment and very little food , and nothing else (except bills) ----so i can race once a month

Tell me about it. I raced sunshine the other night at heads up madness. $15 at the gate, $50 to enter the 6.50 class and $500.00 to win??? Just doesn't add up. That was easy a $150-200.00 night to race (and i didn't win anything).

I'd cut the tracks some slack....you expect them to payout more when the car counts for the most parts have been cut in half....better try and support them so they don't end up going belly up

30 - 40% income tax + 23% sales tax + 75% tax on fuel, etc... you get the picture and I still have health insurance but nowhere near 1800 , not even 1800 a year.
and now when I m up to speed, we can t forget our taxes on new cars, would you believe a new challenger v6 is 65000 euros or about 91000 $, I have no idea what a srt8 would cost... sorry, back to the topic

We have 38% income tax and real estate taxes aren't very good either depending on which area of the country here you live in. Sucks for both of us I guess?

I’m waiting for someone to start a sentence with… “When I was younger…” or have words to the effect… “20 feet of snow…”, “walked 35 miles…”, “continuously uphill…”, “…and that is what’s wrong with your generation!” or “…on a thimbleful of whale oil!”

This thread is supposed to have logic? Really? Ok fine, I’ll start…



Please note the oil costs adjusted per inflation and compare today with June 2008 and Dec 1979. Although, I was reading today that crude hit $111 per barrel when news of the Libyan refineries being hit and that news reaching the ears of oil speculators.
