That's cool.

That's what I meant, they will hate absolutely, and everything, no matter how good or poor it is, while having nothing themselves.

I disagree, slightly...economics are what cause 98% people here to go this route, and then when they learn something and are satisfied from doing it themselves, they receive a different kind of euphoria than they had originally imagined.

I know this by just looking in the Classified Section here, all of the CDM parts for sale and wanted makes me sick, but its a supply and demand system.

I believe you're disagreeing because you're thinking with the goal of building a car in mind. I was implying that building fast cars is not an economically sound choice. The 10% (arbitrary percentage) I was referring to is at home general repair and maintenance. I was doing so because the utiles of happiness one gets from any action are relative to the individual, therefore quantifying the amount of happiness a person will receive from a set course of action is impossible. So these subjective arguments are more or less pointless since they can be argued from many points that are all valid to the person presenting the argument, but invalid to the audience.
