If all you care about is the end result and not the journey then sure, go crazy, but not everyone shares the same mentality. But can you really call yourself a car enthusiast at that point?
Sounds like he might be pulling a Rusty. I hope he is not married or has kids. He may be shown the door. LMAO!!!! Reality is he is short on money to do a proper build. I get it. I have done it myself way too many times. This is the first build I have let someone else do. Why, because I didn't have too. You just showed your true colors with that last statement.

Hope not. I lost count on the number of motors I built and blown up. I really don't want to think about it.

So according to your own posts, you're actually not a car enthusiast?
