Thanks Steve. That's puts things into better perspective for those of us who worked their ass off for years on their own garage floor to build every part of their own car hoping one day that it might come out good enough to be featured here on a killer site like Lateral-g.net. Some of us don't have the resources to send their car off to the body guys, or the suspension guys, or the engine guys, or the audio guys, or the interiors guys, etc, etc, so we end up doing the work ourselves with less equipment and experience than the professionals we could have cut checks to. Or, maybe we do have the resources but want to do it on our own because we're just plain stubborn or a little too proud. As a result, our cars end up being only good enough to make it in online features. There are a few do-it-yourselfers out there that transcend to another level and deservedly make their way into a magazine, but for the most part, most of us average joes will just remain in the "featured-online" category. And for some of us, that'll be good enough.

Anybody can get there car in a magazine if they cut enough checks to the right people.

I don't agree with his point. My old Nova and plenty of others prove it wrong.
His point is if you have the finances anyone can send there car off to someone and have something incredible built worthy of a magazine.So if you don't agree with this please prove me and him wrong and explain how this is not true.
