In our case we dont have sponsors who give us thousand of dollars. The only money that goes into my car is personal money that i work hard for.
I don't know you, or who you are, or what your affiliation is to AAP, but as far as SHOP cars go... everything gets written off. Including the tools, gas, oil, shop rags, and the little air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror.

If your personal car is on that list, awesome! I'm honestly impressed. Not to say I'm not impressed if it was your shop's money that paid for it, but if it was, it should be ranked with other shop cars. That's all I'm saying.

Now take the private owners for example. They don't get the priveledge of writing off their tools. They go to a race, guess what, straight out of their pocket. The truck used to tow it to the race if that applies, guess what, straight out of someone's pocket.

This is why I'm stating it's much easier (lifts, tools), and more cost effective (writing off even the entire car itself) to make a shop owner's car fast.

You cannot argue that fact. Let nothing I say be taken out of context. I'm not trying to discredit anyone for having a fast car.
