100% agree Albert. Who gives a flying F*** if it was built, bought or teleported from Mars. If its a cool car, drive the piss out of it and enjoy sharing it with others.

Now if we could just get Feedstore BBQ at every car event with you manning the BBQ....Hmmm...how do we make that happen?

Hey since we're talking about BBQ, did you know you can attend a 1/2 day BBQ judging class and become a KCBS Certified BBQ Judge. Once you are a Certified BBQ judge then you can volunteer to judge KCBS BBQ competitions.

Free BBQ, what's not to like about that?

Be proud that you have the skill and time to do what you can to your car and enjoy the hobby with other like minded enthusiasts.

Maybe we should all hate GM, Ford & Mopar for BUILDING all of these cars that we have BOUGHT. :bitchslap:

GM didn't build the car either, because they bolt on outsourced components too.

The term "built" is simply meant to be the assembling of a car, the origin of the parts doesn't matter.

And the origin of this phrase is from the JDM/Tuner crowd, and it's simply meant to be a way of a person who actually assembled their car to differentiate themselves from the people who buy already built/tuned cars and pretend to know everything about them despite really knowing nothing.

Honestly I don't see why so many people (this discussion is common on all auto forums) get so offended by the phrase.
