Speaking as a "Boy Racer", I answer that with the rust bucket of a 1974 Dodge Challenger sitting in my driveway....Someday! As for making a silk purse from a pig's ear, a decent second hander isn't always readily available when the urge to heat and beat arises. And there's the "I made (modified, improved, or other appropriate verb) it myself" factor, that once tasted, is hard to not want more!!
