It doesn't matter, build or buy what you can afford and don't worry about what everybody else is doing. Then proceed to enjoy what you have.
Don't assume these high end builds are the best option. Many are built and never finished. If they are finished, they are so damn nice the owner can't bare to use it as a car was intended.
I've built a high end car on this site and actually used it. Give me a decent brawler that does everything exceptionally well. By everything, I mean can be parked in the rain, functions like a factory car, reasonably reliable, safe, and I can walk away from the fire and sleep well. I've had the blind passion for the hobby and now see it from my own perspective. In most cases, it's the low to mid level builds that are out having the most fun. Unless your passion is building them and you are at the point in your life where you can burn the benjamins without sacrificing your future That's fine too if it floats your boat.
