Wow, thats pretty sweet.

I get the question is kind of nebulous. I've gotten some great answers though!

That's an excellent answer I respect the engineering a ton as well.

That's a pretty reasonable answer haha.

For the most part yes. But when I didn't have much money cars were like my enemy.

I don't mean the people at the protest. Im fairly certain you know what I mean.

I signed up with a person there to get text alerts about the next meet up. Never got a text.

Hopefully with a metal back that doesn't hurt all the time.

The competition aspect makes alot of sense. Especially when I consider both the preparation and execution go into it. I think if I was the builder I'd HAVE to be the driver/racer too though.

I do enjoy going to car shows actually. I can agree that its usually more impressive to see something built up than something expensive from the dealer. I guess I recognize its a hobby as any other, just most curious about the draw to that specific hobby. Good response!

Yeah, thats the main understanding I have of it. Just seems like an odd way to express your personality.

That's true, both can be used as status symbols. At least with a watch, once you buy it, mission complete. No need to go throwing new gears in it to make it tick louder.
