Message	Not trying to be Dad but if you can't immediately afford everything for the swap, don't do anything. If you have to, pick up a beater and save up for what you really want. Think about it...you pick up a $5k used car, keep it clean and maybe even detail it before you resell it and you'll have lost, at most, a few hundred dollars in resale value while you saved. If you're savvy, you might even make a few bucks. All the while you are preparing for a SINGLE motor pull and super upgrade. Of course, if you're going big turbo you should have a beater to begin with but that's a whole other story =) "If I'm an asshole it's only because I've been turned into one by the sheer amount of stupid people and stupid logic that dominate Twinturbo.net today."
