Daily driver. Ha. What about "Home builts"? Yeah right, "I built her myself
out in the driveway" except for the body work, engine, suspension, stereo,
interior and paint, I did it all myself.
Sport Truck mag once ran a story/pictorial of professionally-built "home
builts".IMHO, there's nothing wrong with hiring out work. Maybe this is just
another aspect of bench racing.
BTW, I swear I did all the work myself on my 13.5 hp Craftsman lawn tractor.
