    Obviously I am better at doing something and making the cheese if I can afford a bad ass car modded at a top notch shop. Whatever floats your boat. I drive for me - fuck everyone else!

    That said, I do have an extra special respect for those who restore cars and take the time to build something unique. That doesn't mean my store bought 650hp monster is any less of a machine though.

    It seems a lot of people have misunderstood the OP. He didn't ask if it was ok to buy an already modded car.

    He's talking about people that buy an already modded car and tell people that they built it. Later, QD.

    Buy it and take credit for it, you bought it, LOL. Just kidding, but like was stated above some people don't have the time or the tools or the patience. Then the plus side is someone else built it, paid full price, they pick it up at a fraction of the dollars put into it. Unless they bought it off IA where everything is premiumly priced. Just sayin......

    exactly what I was thinking.

    I love how these kids throw around the word "built" on IA. I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but let's say Joe Blow slaps rims on his stock Civic, changes the headliner, installs a few bolt-ons and paints the hood... then posts up a thread featuring the uber JDM racecar he "built". Give me a damn break. If you don't own a welder and don't do any real work to your DD/project car/whatever, you didn't build shit -- You just accessorized. Nothing more, nothing less.

    That's why I say that I had my car done. Not I did this or I did that.

    You wouldn't buy my car? Damn, man.

    There are probably less than 3 people on IA that I would buy a car from. Later, QD.

    If the owner did any body work on the panels and disassembled/modified the engine, then by all means -- he/she did some actual building.

    If he/she ordered the JDM body panels and had Bubba's bodyshop install them, said person still did not build shit.


    Maybe I'm being too literal, but IMO if you didn't spend the hours on your back under your car, tooling on it in your garage all weekend, YOU WEREN'T DOIN' WORK SON!

    I couldn't see myself buying a car from a popular member on here. It wouldn't be cool going to meets and having everyone say "that's Bucky's old car or that's Lil Paki's old car". The car will always carry that label unless you completely change that car. Then that defeats the purpose of buying it. I also couldn't buy a "built" car either. That would defeat the purpose I'm in the game for and would take out the fun.

    LOL at this thread...all you guys talking about modded cars when most of you don't have anything more than bolt on parts on your car. Who cares who bolted your cold air intake on. You guys are a bunch of fucking homos I swear.

    if you paid for the car, you paid for the rights to say whatever the hell you want about that car. what you can't pay for is the respect you get from building something yourself.
    Who knows?

    I think that if you have to take credit for other peoples work that it speaks volumes about one's need to be accepted/ liked / respected.
