Automotive innocence

I was in the middle of building a 71 Challenger in my garage from a basket case. A snobby yuppie guy from down the block stops by one day while I was working on it. He says "Oh you should have this guy paint your car HE ONLY CHARGED ME $7,000 to paint mine" I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't have $7,000 in the whole car at that point (early 90's) He had a 1938 Vicky show car he paid everyone else to build. Then he spent ALOT of time going to car shows for $2 trophies. I have built and played with cars since I was 10 years old. It's something I've always been into and can't stop. People who are ignorant of cars are subject to getting ripped off everywhere they take their car for repairs.
