and to be fair to matt - he did not "talk me into" anything
by far one of the greatest vendors in this game. I took up so much of his time with millions of questions and gear chart requests, most vendors would have given up on me. he is good people.

Truth be told I did give up on you, but not the way you think. I figured out early on in our conversation that you had the disease and there was nothing I could do about it. You tried as hard as you could to show some will power and not spend too much money, but you really just had to have the whole enchilada. You just had to work yourself up to being ok with the number and justify it to yourself by analyzing every option that was cheaper and a compromise to performance before you wrote the check.

Sadly, I have caught the same disease.

See how this year goes ... Gotta sell some trailers and rent some real estate.

Well, talking you is like looking in a mirror. If sales recover this year like I am expecting them to, I'm going to be looking at one of the most expensive 915 rebuilds ever done...

Yeah, but I answer to a board of directors and have a marketing budget. If I take the stuff for myself, guys like you don't get pretty hats and real race teams don't get parts. I'd be playing at opposing ends if I helped myself to my own product. I'd rather see Bullet Racing or BGB Motorsports have our LSD in their car trying to win races than in my lowly little toy car.

Crap! I shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag. We only did a small run of them before Daytona and Sebring. I gave away everything to race teams and shops when I was in Florida. I promise to do a full production run this Spring and make them available to the public. PJ got one because, well, he's kind of special...
