Boy Geez, it's not like that stupid poll Neablas posted. That was an intentional waste of time. At least this is a valid poll.

Wouldn't those figures be a tad more realistic if the bracketing was $1,000-2,500, $2,500-5,000 Etc.

Hey I love my Vette , but no way would I end up spending $50,000 in mods!!!
