Mmmmmmm, pie!

I've looked at those before and thought that I'd like to build one. But instead of the Cobra, I'd want to build the '33 Ford hot rod. |

Nah. I still have one to put through college... Maybe someday. Although, I will probably just buy a pre-owned SL.

One thing I learned when I was looking into these things - most of the kit car makers leave you with a bunch of parts that you can't put together unless you're an ace mechanic/engineer, send you out scouring the junk yards looking for parts you can't find, things don't fit well, etc. Factory Five sends you pretty much a complete car, extremely well thought out, everything fits like it's supposed to, and while it isn't something you'll bolt together in a weekend, is relatively problem free with very good instructions that are clear and easy to follow. |

Cool. My uncle-in-law built his own plane from a kit. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
