Anything can be a labor of love, and creativity is great, but typically, people who create innovative startups are doing so because they anticipate future profits.

In this instance, it just doesn't make sense.
so all this money spent on ur 800HP blown stang was for profit??

what a retarded logic you have. I think it's safe to assume that u have killed the whole ideology of hoobyists round the world

now do us the favor and save some face

For instance putting a Subaru 2.2l engine in a VW Vanagon. I would have preferred to put a TDI into it but maybe next time. Or how about Chopping a 40's Ford, something I'm not into but I won't knock those who are, because they have turned out some very impressive machine... the list goes on and on. There are just very few in this group of that mind set.

I wonder what most would think about converting a Mercedes to run on veggy oil. Wow sacrilege. Even though the inventor intended his Diesel engine to be run on veggy oil.

Well for those who think themselves to be really into their cars when they order new rims and have the local garage put them on, try to have a little more imagination about what it could mean to really be into your cars!
not really.

I've spent a ton of time and labor, not to mention money into turning my stock 99 mustang cobra into an 800bhp rocket, forged internals, tranny swap, rear end swap, full fuel system, etc.

Its just not worth it to heavily modify vehicles.

like I just said, I learned from the experience, and will NEVER heavily modify any other vehicle I own.

Once you've done it, you may realize how right I am.

no saving face necessary.

dude if I were gonna heavily modify any vehicle I wouldn't give a flying crap about resale values bcoz I would rather keep it for a really long time until it becomes a classic and I dnt care how long that is as well
