Where does the drift tax come from?

 After months of looking for a drift machine I paid $5054.00 for a 1995 240SX that was 646 miles away from where I live. The week I after I bought it there were local 240SXs selling for less than $3000.00. It's the story of my life. Luckily, I know how to be happy.

This is not the total cost of my build. These are just some receipts I still have in my email. I did not add them up exactly, but it is roughly $10,000. There is easily another couple of thousand in parts plus labor. (My own blood, sweat, tears and cursing.)
