> [@Zer0DazE](#): > > fair market value of that engine is more than 1k, and you know it 🙂 lol, I bought the whole car for $1100.00. then i scrapped the shell. Soooo the way i see it it qualifies. Sure the market value is higher but it did only cost me that much money. Sooo technically it qualifies buuuuuut, if people wanna be wet socks they can get into a pissing match about whos car is worth more then the budget regardless of good deals, and finds then so be it. 😉 ---

> [@MaximaSE98](#): > > u got to do it monster garage style…free bees dont count against anything Oh hell no! Just because they get a free 572ci crate motor, doesn’t mean the car cost less than $3k to build. I started to hate Monstar Garage when they started that shit. No Freebies. ---

hahah here free rims and wheels! and a new motor! Wow. Freebies up the ass on Monster Garage. They set a goal. But when you start throwing in freebies then it doesn’t become a goal anymore. You’d really want to see what they could do with whatever money. The paintjob alone at the end of the show would cost way over their budget ---

Does it really have to be a team of 5 people though. I’d almost rather do solo, or just 2 people. Is the 5 people going to be a requirement? Agreed on the “fair market” value. Would be crazy to allow freebies MG style, would just throw the entire balance off and would be as fair to those that don’t happen to have fancy parts laying around. ---

I’m with Fuzzy - it should be a MAX of 5 people per team. ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > How about these rules… > > -$100 **X** , **X** should represent the calendar year. > -After the competition if anyone offers $120 **X** for the car you **must** sell. This means the car is actually worth what the competitors say, the car can not be used for a subsequent year competition(the competitors will not compete against themselves), and everyone makes $40 for their labor (nothing more). This probably should be given a timeframe of one month after the last event. > -Instead of 0-100-0, have a stop-run-stop from a section on Dunnville’s front straight. To get up to speed use and part of Curve Grande that does not include corner dynamics. Stop section can be similar to GT’s box. Lowest time wins. > -Since it’s 5 team members each memeber must do a seperate competition. **This means no shoe-ins.** One for drag, fuel mileage, auto-x, road course, and stop-run-stop. thats the fairest way to do the pricing and what not, would allow people to get parts at good prices but they would take a hit in the end if the value of the car was over the allotted price ---

in theory it could be fun, but many aspects of it could prove difficult: who is going to put it on their insurance and register it? is this included in the cost, or are they going to be off-road track only cars and need to be trailered? it could be impossible to accurately monitor everyones spending. just about anyone will write a bill of sale for whatever you ask for, especially if its a cheap shitter car. ---

BUT, if you and add for $900 and the recipt says $700 then i think thats perfectly reaosnable. we’d also have to use the honor system here as well. ---

One thing I think should be realized, this is supposed to be for fun, not for drama. I would hate it if we had to deal with people lying about prices and all so that they can get around the rules and have an extremely high advantage over the honest people. BTW, I’ve been planing a setup since I read this yesterday, I’m pretty excited. We should also have an independent series of judges who deem what is allowed, how much parts actually cost, and so forth… ---
