Re: $1500 challenge

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@bork.hampshire.edu>]

When is it? I would LOVE to go! My GTI could probably qualify. If stereos and 7
fuel pumps don't count : ) It used to sit at about $1300, even including the
header that I haven't installed, and the only thing I've done since then that
counts, really, is the rear brakes, so I think I'm within range.
I dunno, what counts?
Sounds fun, in any case!
