The only thing I would be proud of is my ability to write a check. If you go back to the roots of the hotrod culture in the 40s and 50s (which our hobby is by most accounts, an extension of) the guys were coming up with stuff they built and fabricated themselves for the most part to make the cars go faster, race and set records. The aftermarket speed companies we get our parts from today were born in those days or have their heritage through acquisition and merger traced back to them. That's still what it's really all about.
