Wow, some people are absolute morons..

Why on earth would someone spend that much on this? I personally don't see how its worth it.. Somebody prove me wrong. And that price is only going to increase ::)

And I like how he calls it a "TSi" too ::)

It sure is a cool looking car, and fast too.. but I don't see spending the money.

he doesnt say anything about fuel management. then he says he bought the 11 second car from mark brauning? then he says it has a fresh engine with only 2000+ miles on it? 30,000 dollars in labor?! what the hells the point of building a honda if your going to dump 30 grand just into labor.

::) WOW. 14K. I bet the car cost at most $7-8 Grand to build at most! thats absoulte most. it would be a really bad ass car though. someone is just makin a little money on the car. do you blame them. they can so why not.....someone else is the moron. not the seller.

Re:Wow, some people are absolute morons..

it is a very nice car but im not going to pay the $14k its bit up to ATM. its maby workth $5k? really pushing it $7k? but it really was a good spot to take picts and whatnot. but yes thatis what people will pay if they dont know/want to make it what it is.
