Gary,

Those are harsh words.  I don't think that he is too far removed from many 
folks on this list (myself included) that have a desire to build their car 
on their own.  He bought a project and it snowballed.  I am sure that many 
on the list can relate.  How many folks her have multiple roadsters?  I have 
3 at the house and most of 2 more elsewhere.  None run - but one day a few 
will.
