It's what you like, want, are willing to pay for, and can.

Who's to judge?

Understanding art takes time and effort. Work hard for a lifetime and if you're lucky you'll begin to understand it before your dead.
Of course… I don’t judge this, but it just seems to me that it was already basically created with the SSR. We have plenty of them around here, so it seems to be like reinventing the wheel. I guess some people have nothing better to do. Time flies so fast nowadays, I don’t even know where someone has that much surplus of time.
Not judgement, just my own take on it.

Have you priced out the roof control module for an SSR? Very expensive.

They are a beautiful machine too, and the HP is ⬆️… there’s a CHERRY bright mustard colored one that I see once in a while, and the guy stops at the 50’s Coffee Shop and always gets the looky loos and questions. If you stand next to it, it really feels larger than life. It’s the same feeling when I stand next to a Toyota Venza. It’s features are extra large proportions like looking through a magnifying glass. Right down to the oversized low-slung extra wide grille and googly eye headlights - though I never thought the chrome over the headlights was a good “retro” move (when you see it up close, you’ll get why). The only thing I don’t care for on the SSR was the really weird steering wheel and inside door handles. All that said, I do really appreciate the craftsmanship on the whole entire body (minus the headlights) and especially the back end, including the automatic bed cover…super slick in action!
Came with a Tremec 6-Speed Manual -or- Auto, and a 6.0L V-8. That’s a whole lotta car… Was a real door buster - pure muscle.
