Folks and cars

I tell my buddy about what i have purchased, or accomplished on the valiant, and he replies, that its a waste of time and money, that it will still be "crap" even after its got its paint and upgrades, and that it will still not be worth Anything when its done.
Guess what , i stopped telling him anything. Kind of disappointed as you would think people would be happy for you..
Is it jealousy ? They wish it was them? Wish you wouldnt point out that they couldnt be bothered making the effort on something? I dont know.
But ive got this site.
