I totally agree with you grandpa. I agree on BIG ticket items. Like tools, cars, appliances, motorcycles, boats, ceiling material, even toothbrushes.

I would never buy a Hyundai, Kia, Saturn. I've always stuck to toyota, honda, yamaha,
Because i believe that you buy it once, and never again. I dont even believe in buying hybrids because of future battery failures. I drive a TDi. 5 speed. Because automatics are prone to fail.

I feel like if i was racing the regional TCS (or whatever serious league of racing) then i would IMMEDIATELY invest in a killshot/TP/r1wurks motor.

But I'm not- im club racing with a bunch of friends.
