Yea, but id say half that croud thinks its an investment and too stupid or ignorant to realise that.

 

AND THAT IS THE POINT EGG-ZACT-LEE.

People who want a "built" car want to do it them self, and watch the progress a step at a time. They view it as a hobby.

But if you are looking for the best bang for the buck, buy a car that was built by someone else. Just make sure the work was done by a quality shop, and talk to that shop prior to buying the car.

 

Why even sell a car if you know you're gonna lose so much money? Just keep the damn thing. The car cant be that bad with 600hp. Honestly, this is one of the mysteries of the universe.

 

The fun of the hobby is watching a clean stock pallet being transformed into the street machine you imagined.

I will never forget the day my friend decided to sell the car I was talking about 5-6 post ago.

We were standing in a tuner shop looking at some work that had just been done to his car.

Joe:"Jim do you think it would look good if I had my A pillars sent to Kewl, and had them smoothed and painted to match the Italian leather seats?"

Jim:" No Joe i don't"

Joe..........looks at car and hold chin

Joe:"me neither..............F#ck, there is nothing left to do to this car, I am selling it, and getting a lambo"

Jim:" We were both on our phones 2 min latter calling people we knew who purchased high dollar show cars"

The fun to Joe is building a car.....having ideas he has in his head, take form where his hands can touch them. Once you are done, you move on......
