okay okay fine...jeeeeze! although...She DID have money already from her last "project"

yeah, i see!

okay well, i really meant no disrespect...i mean it IS a nice car, i might just be jealous :D

but yeah, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW IN MY HUMBLE OPINION...doing the work and putting my time and blood and sweat into my car is what matters more.

Thanks for the props everyone.

But as for my sponsors, yes they do help out alot.But it is not easy as it seems. Getting sponsored is not as easy as calling them up and saying "hey can i get some free parts?" Sponsors take a lot of work. I can alomst call them my long-distance boyfirends. Not only do they want to use my car for their booths, but I have to call them, write them, update them on the car and shows, send pictures of the new parts on the car, and even meet with them in person on occasion. This takes up alot of my personal time and can get hectic throughout the show season. Thats why my weekends are normally booked for shows and race events (example I will be out of town 3 weeks out of this month, just got back form SEMA IAS Atlantic City NJ...good show by the way)

As for the blood, sweat, and tears...trust me I still get those. Yes I have to put the parts on, which dont always come with everything you need, which means more $ out of my pocket. But I amost have tyo get the car to all the shows, which can mean in 7 states away and in less than a weeks notice. Then when I can not get the car there, or atleast in one piece the tears can start flowing. So yes it may seem easier, but live the life in my shoes for one day and they can not only be painful from the heels alone, but also from the constant stress of making my sponsors happy. Don't get me wrong, I love this scene more than anything in the world and would never take back all my contacts and sponsorships. You be suprised how many friendships I have made over the years.:D

I will post some updates pics soon, I am picking the car up today from the shop!:angel:
