No need to call names. You build a car that extreme and unusual, you're bound to hear some opinions. Some good, some bad. You set yourself up for that.
It looks like great workmanship -- it just doesn't mesh with my taste at all. To be perfectly honest with you, every visual modification you made was a step away from my taste with the exception of one -- I love the shade of blue you chose for the paint.
No, I don't feel stupid, I feel surprised. The car is simply unlike anything I've seen going across the block at B-J, and I really didn't think it was the right venue to sell a car like that. Congratulations to you for getting a decent price out of it.

I don't think i would ever make a car that i owned look like that. I actually do really like the car. No one will ever see a car like that again. Its unique, and it was done with taste. Great car Cassanova, why did you decide to sell it?

You get to a point where you can no longer do anything to the car, and you are just plain tired of working on it. I owned the car for 13 years-it was fun but it just began to be a burden on my family.

Well, I agreed with another poster and will also apologize for being a bit crude I guess. I also thought the craftsmanship of the project was great. It was the actual styling that I didn't feel. I guess ya gotta stand out at car shows though, and that it did very well.
The only thing that came to mind was that you prolly had more than $45000 in the project.

I don't recall insulting or ridiculing any people. Just the car. Like I said before, he set himself up to hear stuff like that when he chose to build such an extreme car.

I laughed so hard when I read that. Phew! Thanks. I was actually watching the BJ auction when this car rolled onto the block. Mike Joy and Steve Magnante had this reaction...
While they were super impressed (as am I) with the level of craftmanship and time devoted to accomplishing something like this, the overall concensus was that, well...it was way overdone. I do believe this car is supercharged though

At the last car show I went to, there were hundreds of cars matching that description.

When you ridicule a car that somebody has poured thousands of dollars, several years, and lots of effort into, you effectively ridicule the person that owns the car.

i cant believe the way people talk about this car. thid car is prob the most customized 4th gen i have ever seen. some people have no respect. i hear the same stuff all the time, "i cant believe you spent that much time on appearance mods and not on the motor" i jsut wish you would have got at least another 10 grand for it, i watched it go across the block. i know how mch all the chrome and paint costs. dont pay attention to the ignorant ones.
