I think I've heard this saying around this forum, but it's cool to BUILD a unique car that not everyone has, instead of going out and buying a car that thousands can go down to their local dealership and pick up. Goes along with the quote "Built, not bought". Any rich dweeb can purchase a vette or a 997, but to swap the engine, change ECU's, change trans, and even manufacture your own parts, to me, is the coolest thing a car-guy can do.

When I see a v8 swapped miata, or a 2j IS 250, I stand back and am in awe of the serious man-hours behind these builds.

Just my 0.02
