[DeTomaso] MythBusters

[Göran Malmberg]

I would not think of telling what people think of me here at home, but
it would certainly be a history of measurements. But rather than that
the people would not have seen that I exist. 
Buying a car ready to take parts from is being right meant purely
economic, since there are quantity discount. In my book on how to build
a racing car, so I pointed out the need to produce all the parts myself,
because what to buy always has dimensions or geometric properties that
do not fit what you intended to build. Then it becomes the parts you
bought that will govern the building as much as the ideas you have. So
it is only good economically but in terms of construction, an error.
Satisfaction for me is to see how my very own design work, not to
assemble a car with parts that are available for purchase.
But all is, that I have already pointed out, an issue on which person
you are and what background you currently have. 20 years ago or so, it
did fits me perfect using purchased parts.

I am the neighbor that is in the garage working all weekend.  That is
how 
people describe me from down the street.
I get parts sent to me in the office all the time.
My receptionist once told me that "you know you can buy cars already put

together"
Yeah OK but it is not as fun.
Another one is "Rich you need to buy this completely restored car.  Then
you 
can save a lot of money using all the parts from it to build the car
your 
working on"  The funny thing he is right it would be faster and cheaper
to 
do that way.
