I still think a car is badass if someone paid someone else to build it, but my respect then goes mainly to the shop that built it, with a little bit going to the owner for having good taste. Now a badass car that had 90%+ of the work done by the owner gets the owner tons of respect in my eyes. Not to mention, in my experience, there's a lot more pride in driving the car you built, rather than what you paid someone else to build. Of course, ever since I was a kid my dad taught me to always do as much yourself as possible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
