Is this considered rude?

a stupid thing about asking what some has cash wise into there car is that, a lot of the time its different for everything no matter how nice the build or how terrible its built. i know guys who have been building cars for years who can do a nice build a few grand because they know people who have parts or have parts from old projects to use. hell i just picked up a clean 68 dart with about 3 grand in parts for 1500 bucks, and that's only because i knew a guy. anyway i think it a pointless question
