Ok, take my statement with a grain of salt.

I see what you mean and stuff... I like my kids drawings, AND i can appreciate what Rembrant also does. I dont have to quantify what I like more and why I like them or whether I could afford them or not. You dont have to be able to buy or duplicate something to think its nice. Ya know?

If everyone had to build their own car there wouldn't be one sponsor to the right of your screen.

Nothing wrong with having a car built for you. I did because I never cared to learn how to work on engines, tranny's, rears, etc. I had other **** that I'd rather do, plus I'd rather leave it to the experts so its done right.

Personally I think what he has done is absolutely beautiful and monsterous. I love his HotRod.
