Sure I could- that's a ton of money!!!! I'm really being extravagant when I spend $500. on one. Growing up on a farm gave me a conservative way of thinking and the skills(common sense) needed to make it work when there aren't any resources. I build everything from recycled stuff- I buy broke down BS items made from steel tubing for $10. bucks then cut it up for all my parts, I have demo(blades,grinding disks,ect...) involved but I didn't spend $100.'s on new steel that's clean!!! I make or figure out a way to make it so my expenses are CHEAP and self-gratifying! Everything out there has a multiple use.You could easily build your dream buggy with that amount of money- "innovation is your biggest asset".It does cost anything that I'm aware to dream - You have skills- that goes a LONG ways when having this as a hobby.
