So a vehicle has to be "everyday" to be worthwhile? Why did you buy a Corvette then? I wonder if Barris built rides for everyday use?

BTW....Thanks for qualifying the type of person who put this together. I had no idea.

1. No. Who said that? We all own a "toy"...but the toy we have serves a purpose; fun and performance.
2. Why 'Vette? See above. The 'Vette does succeed at providing a fun/exciting driving experience. It also succeeds at producing high performance numbers -industry leading in it's time.
3. Barris' vehicles had a lot more craftsmanship in them then a vette unit frame welded onto an S-10 ladder frame.
