I'm still living off Ramen and boot-strapping my company. But when I was an employee I bought a 2005 Dodge SRT-4. I had wanted this car since it came out back in 2001. Not really an expensive car but at the time it was the fastest car one could buy under 20K dollars. 0-60 in 5.8 seconds, 2.4L 4 cylinder turbo charged engine with 230 HP, a LSD and only 2900 lbs. Not too shabby for a cheap economy car and very fun to drive! Back in high school I bought lots of Honda Repair Manuals and studied them. I swapped out a 1990 Honda Civic's original engine with a more powerful Japanese engine. Then I figured out how to install a ZEX dry nitrous system. Although I estimated a measly 160-170 HP to the wheels, the car only weighed a little over 2000 lbs. When I took it to the race track I had plenty of fun embarrassing 50K luxury cars with my shit brown Civic! How much had I spent of my $5.15 an hour pay check? Used 1990 Honda Civic - $500 Used Japanese performance engine - $600 Used nitrous system - $500 Embarrassing the driver of a 50K dollar car? Priceless.
