GT Tax ???

[DRM ON]

So ive had enough haha.

Im currently building a couple of different cars and slowly collecting the parts that I need for others. In doing this it has made me realize just how crazy the price difference is from model to model.

For example my xk ute needs a new indicator switch. No worries about this I looked online and found the complete unit with wiring and all brand new for $39. This seems ok. Then im working on my xy van and realise "damn it needs the same switch, oh well for $40 its not to bad" look online thismorning and almost fell off my damn seat. $161 bloody dollars, and thats reduced from 171.

Ive had the same thing when quoting resprays, When I told people I was looking to respray my xk sedan I had I was getting reasonable quotes. My mate called the same people about getting his xy painted and the quotes almost DOUBLED.

So i have come to the conclusion somewhere along the line people have created this tax I like to call the GT Tax. Any car that can be made to replicate a gt now has yet another tax whacked onto it. Its bloody unreal.

So thats the end of my pointless rant, just had to get it off my chest and figured what better place then the pub haha.

Cheers
