The irony of these big dollar builds is, we all know guys who build them undoubtedly have super, deep pockets and it's just "something" for them to do. But, the car gets shown all around the country for a year or two at all of the big shows, gets major write-ups in all of the magazines, win some awards, then we never hear about the car again. The car hardly ever gets driven recreationally (I assume) because it's always being shown. I mean, I know they"ll drive the snot out of it at autocross events, etc to help with displaying the car and getting the attention it deserves, but then it'll be sold for several thousands or probably hundreds of thousands less than it cost to build.
