Message	- Why is it that you have to spend 2 years doing a "build"? Why don't you do it more slowly, and enjoy it as you go? - What if at the end you don't like it for some reason? - Your plan is very high risk; you're investing a lot of money into something you may not like, and that you can't get your money back out of. - In general, your plan would be a very foolish thing to do. - You don't have to have a 500RWHP beast to enjoy cars, or to be considered a "car guy."
