LOL...Donnie is quite a prolific and talented car BUILDER.

And every time that I've been to Leno's garage he's been elbow deep into a car himself.

As a car BUILDER, I have a great deal of respect for the car BUYER who makes it possible for me to BUILD the next one.

As a car BUYER, I have a great deal of respect for the builder whose car I just bought so I didn't have to spend the time building a car that I really like.

So I’m off base here? You guy’s agree that “Built Not Bought” Ruining The Hobby?

I've been to Leno's and seen him up to his elbows working on steam engines etc.

No, I agree that the article is dumb but your post was the same. Both are opinions from the author, there is no factual data in either, just anecdotal evidence to support a position on a topic of debate. I only skimmed the article, only because you linked to it, it doesn't interest me.....it's just clickbait as is your post. I took the bait with your post and actually laughed out loud when I read

That place seems to have attracted quite of bit of trolls that bring nothing to the table lately

and then you proceeded with your troll post.

We _all_ play with cars, that's the point. Why people feel the need sub divide our group of car people I never understood. Imports vs Domestic, drag racer vs road racer vs autocrosser, street rods vs street machines, etc, etc,

Arguing about who is awesomer only proves who isn't.

I see it more as a post to discuss the dumb nature of a article that was sent to me via LatG email. I gave my rebuttal. Posers exist in every aspect of life. I gave examples.

The trolls are are the guys building fictional cars with everyones opinion on whats the super duper awesomest suspension of the day. No ideas of their own.

I don’t see why you would get your jimmies rustled but to each their own.

IMO the conclusion of the article is to perhaps rephrase it Built not Bought Built 100% by someone else.

The main question posed "is it ruining the hobby?" To that I would have to say NO. I like to build and when finished I end up selling to build another. So having the guys willing to lay down the green is a good thing for the hobby.

I've seen guys almost duke it out at car shows because a owner/builder was ticked a owner/buyer won a award and he didn't. It's the car being judged not the people so may the best car win.
