Actually, not to derail a subject, but I really like that term "Hand Built Supercar" and how that is defined.

If Ferrari/Lotus/Etc. (Insert your favortie marque here) builds a car, and that car is produced with limited volume, and resources, with parts from raiding everyone's factory parts bins cause they can't afford to make a blinker or window switch, it gets the lofty title of "Hand Built Supercar". As in, "Did you know my XYZ was hand built in Italy by craftsmen?"

However, if you, Joe Schmo, maybe a car builder from way back, was to build your car from some parts, then it doesn't get that lofty title. It gets called a "Kit Car". And, those fellows with XYZ;s tend to look down on you as if you were a low form of life. Obviously, I'm exagerrating a bit (well maybe not, you tell me) but I think you get the point.

Interesting terms that surround these cars we love. And, no matter what, they're still just cars. Just inantimate objects that could care less how they were contructed. When the rubber meets the road it all works out.
