That whole cycle has always blown me away as well. I like to think that we just don't hear about the cars because why would there be media about some guy driving his car around somewhere or doing a local motorsports event. THe only reason you would "hear" about the car is if it was doing high profile events.

I used to think these guys were insane ie I would think if I had a car like that I'd love it and hug it and drive it. But that's when I was younger - at this point I've easily poured the equivalent of 7 figures into my car if you count my time at $15 hour (ha), and I've come close to selling it dozens of times for the proverbial pennies on the dollar, so I can relate to it a little better than I used to about wanting to move on.

I feel you on that too and totally agree.
