That's not true Ron. I've seen it many times and feel the same way. Just doesn't make sense to me. I can understand a very small percentage that do it for an emotional tie to something, but that's not your typical market.

Where you said not many of you guys have seen someone dump 30-40K into a less than 10K car or over spend on motorcycles.
I've seen it and it doesn't make any sense and neither does spending the kind of dough these guys charge for a boat restoration. I'm certainly not implying they don't do good work. Not at all. What I do think though is that you can get the same work done elsewhere for a fraction of what they charge.
