    First, I think you do incredible work and if your B3 car is as fast as you say; then that is an incredible feet!

    Anyway, I think you missed my point. Sure a person can spend as much as they wish on any car that they want! What I was saying is devoting a large portion of your time/money into developing and selling performance parts for a Festiva is not a sustainable market to be in. Hence you are leaving it. I wish it was a lucrative market for you and I both! However, you had to know it wasn't going to have good payback compared to other markets.

    I'm sure your example of a guy spending 52k on a $600 car wasn't a Festiva. Maybe you should get in the market for whatever car that was.

            Problem was people either misrepresented the environment here or/and had eyes bigger than their wallets and all didn't know any better till they saw prices. When 12 guys on here say they're going to buy an almost $900 set of pistons if it was only available, I'd know to proceed with extreme prejudice, and get $$ before I moved an inch. Same with the turbo kit that was originally developed. I'd imagine Matt is used to people who when they say, "I want this. Please build it.", it means they will pay for it when it's done.
            Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

              Hiding under a rock. Good to see that everyone is still here. Got tired of waiting for FastivaB6T to sell me that yellow Festiva so I bought an Abarth. Sorry for the highjack!
