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?

I agree, that car is downright GAY.

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.
Damn, nice

Leno is the ultimate car guy with a unlimited budget..we all wish we did not have constraints (family and life in general) to contain our wildest car ideas and thoughts...I like the roadster a lot..very cool!!
