Anyone tired of this ???
Sounds like most of you are jealous you can't buy a car done..keep working on those rust buckets in maybe 10 years you'll be enjoying them..meanwhile the guy who bought his done is out enjoying it...
I think you are confusing wanting to buy a complete car and able to. There is a difference. Many of us have lives and hobbies that car not car related.
I see zero pride of ownership when you buy complete. I bought a new Mustang gt back in early '08. Love the car. Done a little bit to it but there is no pride to having it on the road...however, it is fun...
I could have let someone else do the work on the Duster. Would it made any difference of how I felt about the car. Yup... and a big difference when I drive it ..lets call it fun X4 knowing that we did all the work on it....one is just a car...when you have hands on it, it is more..
Am I impressed with the dud that just spent big bucks on a car..no, they are a dime a dozen..throw a stick at in any car show and you will hit a bunch...aren't there more billionaires around now.. ?? . have you noticed how many 500K plus Class A's there are on the road.. ? doesn't meant I am not impressed with the car. There is a big difference.
It is just like the folks who say that they "built" their house and when you dig deeper, you found out that they painted a few rooms and wrote the cheques..
Doing is impressive..buying, not so much..
On an aside, I have a neighbor that is a real wheeler dealer..makes gobs of $... he has everything in his driveway over the years from Porches to harleys. he doesn't keep them long.. not sure if he even enjoys them..
But regardless of what i or others think, do what ever floats you boat..you time and your money going into in...
Me, I have been working on my Freightliner :)
