Who walks through a show, or a cruise-in, and says to their self, "man this car would be way cooler if it had been built out of a garage", or vise-versa.
The truth is, your typical enthusiast doesn't know, or care who has built the car. He or she simply likes the car or doesn't like the car.
For example, I have a truck that I purpose built in the 90's for ISCA (World Of Wheels) competition. I built the truck in my moms basement, while I was still single, all by my self. I hauled the truck all over the southeast in an enclosed trailer, and won every award that ISCA could offer, from best truck, to best paint, to best of show, and even made Sport Truck, and Truckin' magazines, and I'd bet that not one person ever thought while checking out my ride about a pro shop build vs. garage built. They either liked it, or hated it.
At the end of the day guys, it's a car. Or truck. Or bike...
Who gives a holy rip who built it.
