The "journey" is a means to an end. I enjoy having the car way more than I enjoyed the journey it took to get it. Although I have to say my build was just about 100% uneventful and, in hindsight, I wouldn't make a single change. Hint: Here's the secret to dealing with ERA: Just tell them what outcome you want, don't tell them how to do it, and don't ask them how much it will cost. If you follow those simple rules, everything will work out, regardless of how much, or little, of the build you do yourself.


Afterthought -- Maybe having an "eventful build" makes it more enjoyable? Let's check in with 767Jockey and get his thoughts on that....
