This....

There are a few cars in that collage that are awesome. Hanzel's is a great example but some of the others.... A lot of the guys on here are on instagram but you probably don't see them because they don't really give a shit about the E-fame that 90% of the cars in your collage are seeking.

It's funny, I've found that the more people whore their cars out over instagram, the less original their build is.

That having been said, I post a LOT of pictures of my car on instagram LOL.

You bought a pretty nice AP1, drove it for a few days, then proceeded to completely tear down, modify, and rebuild nearly every part of the car in your garage. Yeah, that's a build.

Agreed wholeheartedly. It's rather difficult to have anything really original, pretty much everything that can be done to an S2000 already has. What he, and quite a few others, Dr. Jekyll, etc did was imagination, originality for a purpose. Not "look at s2ki and buy the stuff everyone else has to fit in". I despise cookie-cutter cars.

Don't even really care for catalog cars, all it turns into is a dick-measuring contest about how big one's wallet is.

I'll let Doug know how you feel!

I think if you would have seen MugenAP2's car in person, your face would have melted off. Catalog car, x100.
