Lets do the Math

If the dude is independantly wealthy and works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and makes the assembly a full time job.

20000 / 8 = 2500 working days (@ 8 hrs per day).

Lets also assume the guys not a total dork and has at least a passing relationship with the family and at least takes two weeks for vacation, that leaves 50 weeks to work X 5 day per week. Thats 250 working days.

2500 / 250 = 10

Thats 10 years assuming he has no job, independantly wealthy, cool wife and kids, LET ME SAY AGAIN COOL WIFE.

Holy why doesnt the dude give seminars about how to keep the wife cool with your hobby Batman!

Lets extrapolate a little. Assume shes not so cool and he only gets to put in 4 hours a day (same basic parameters), has a full time job, kids in soccer, wife bitchin all the time about "That damn car thats too small to drive".

That's 20 years to build.

This dude is a Murderer. If I was working on a car that is 1/3 size AFTER my 8 hour a day job for an additional 4 hours, My wife would bitch at me until I had to kill her. I am catchin' hell about the 5 hours a week (including weekends) that I put into the car now. Basketball season is in full swing and Dad's gotta be there.


Thanks I needed that and Cool car.
