Reading one of my car mags other day and read article on a car that was a very nice car, really looked good. Reading the article the owner went on and on about building the car themselves and "built it the way I wanted it with no help from anyone". Ok, now after reading the complete article all the owner actually did was write the checks to whoever did the work. All the owner really did was select the places to have it worked on. Now the owner did pick out the color scheme and which motor/trans to go in the car, but at no time turned any wrenches etc..
I think this owner should say they paid someone and had it built to their specs and not claim they built it.
I have no problem if someone can pay to have one built if that is the way to have a car. Not everyone can actually build their car. I have to have my paint and body work done as this is something I am not good at nor do I like to do paint and body work. Whether my personal cars or a customers car I don't do paint and body. Nor will I take credit for the paint and body on a car.
So should I just ignore this peeve or still get snarly at those folks?
