What am I missing? It seems not even a year or two ago, these cars and there parts were very reasonably priced. Now, it looks as though they are going for double. Any particular reason?

The argument I make with myself about "investing" in my hobby is that I won't make money on the car if I take all the costs into account. But, if I divide the sunk cost (total spent owning the car - the price I get for the car when it leaves) by the number of hours I spent enjoying it it comes out pretty good. I have around $35,000 into my Stalker (including tools which I usually don't count because "tools are free!). When I sell it and divide the difference by the thousand hours or so I have spent building it (which I enjoy) and driving it then I am spending around 10-15$ per hour of entertainment. That's not too bad in comparison to the same calculation on SWMBO clothing budget!
