and i think there is a bit more prestige in saying "i bought that 69 camaro in a junk yard with no motor or interior, now its beautful, runs 10.80s, and only cost me $20,000 to put together."

over saying
"yeah i paid $100,000 for this car that is ugly as sin but its a SKYLINE! GTR TYPE S!!!! DAWG!"

and i simply stated it was MY OPINION. hell if i had a money tree in my backyard Id buy a new vette or something...but today's society, IMO, doesn't give a **** about you, or me, everyone cares about themselves...you shouldn't even give a **** what other people think of you. people think that daddy bought my car and that "I think im hot ****" because I have a half decent car and am trying to prove something to people....thats complete crap! I bought the car with money I saved while working my ass off. And the only reason I bought it is because I love the way it looks, sounds, runs, etc. not to go driving around town saying "hey! look at me! Ive got money!"

we got more important things to worry about than that dumbass rich guys that spent all his money on a car.

Wow, you went off in like 5 different directions in that post I was simply stating my opinion too. You said cars like the GTR and ZR1 are nothing but hype because you can build something faster for a tenth of the cost. That IS a ricer mentality because some of the kids that do have fast Hon-duhs and such think suddenly because they threw $$ at a car it's "better" than something that costs much more $$$. Tell me where I'm wrong?

I think everyone here(or almost everyone here) would love to take any Fbody and build it into their dream but suddenly a well built factory super car is hype? Please. More technology and R&D went into those cars than you could EVER build yourself.

Again, it's easy to take $40-60K and dump it into a car to make it beat a super car, but like I said you're taking an already built car, using already made parts and slapping something together. Just my opinion.
