Just having boatloads of cash doesn't earn my respect. If you have boatloads of cash and turned every screw on your setup, that's what gets you props.
Exactly. That's my whole perspective with this blog. I give major props to the dude who builds out of his garage, piece by piece and over a period of time. I also give major props to anyone who builds on an inferior platform as a labor of love. My income is going to grow exponentially over the next few years and whatever I wind up buying (Planning on a new Mustang GT) will never be as special to me as the supra I put together piece by piece since 2004.

That is just me though :shrug:
I decided not to go back and respond to your previous messages, since it's pretty clear our disagreement is just due to fundamental differences in preference when it comes to auto performance (nothing particularly wrong with either). I can respect your taste, and your taste is generally well represented in the more mainstream tuner publications, so I represent the little guy. I have a career man, so if my blog doesn't take off because I write about cars like this, it's really of little consequence to me.

Thanks for the well wishes by the way.
