[QUOTE="Mulholland Man, post: 16505415, member: 191905"] Appreciate that sentiment Streetpwr. I would tend to agree. You put a properly built motor in this beast with all the other goodies I've already added and you have one freaking hell of a ride. I'd pay 50k+ for it as well. Bought it for 52k plus warranty, taxes = 60k. THen I dumped 20k into it easily (wife says 30k but I don't count tires LOL). So I'm already 80k into it and now the car is worth maybe 18k-20k in current condition (which is ironically what I owe on it). I've looked at a LOT of other 500s and I just love MY car. The Griggs Kit (waited 8 monts for them to ship it to me), the custom exhaust system built around the Griggs system, the color/stripe combo, tinted windows, MGW shifter, the clear bra.... The conditon of the car on the inside is immaculate. Nah, I've invested too much into t his car. I married it and I'm gonna be burried in it like a pharoh, LOL. I Think it would make even less sense to buy a new 500 and start over again. Also, I have little interest in adding 100-140 pounds of iron to the front end of my car. WHY would you do that when you can go aluminum? I'm of the mind that if you do something you should do it right and most importantly I NEVER want to blow a block apart again, ever. Hence, do it once, do it right. Love the color commentary though. [/QUOTE]
