Unfortunate. Seems like it'd be a smart play to sell it to a hipster and buy two modern cars. Hopefully he'll get some better offers after this article.
- jacquesm 12y agoWhy is that unfortunate? He's made this creation so that he could drive it, not so that someone with more money but less creativity could drive it so he can drive a run of the mill car. It's fairly obvious he's put a chunk of his soul into this machine.
- pm90 12y agoWhy? He may not need the money; but he may have very fond memories attached to that old car.
- VBprogrammer 12y agoNot only that, but anything which goes wrong with it he can fix. The service schedule is defined by what he thinks is reasonable and whether it is running well.

- mhurron 12y agoI too bemoan that not everyone on the planet can be bought. What is capitalism coming to when greed is not the over arching purpose in life.
- icebraining 12y agoWhy would it be greedy of him to sell the car?
- mhurron 12y agoThe OP is complaining that the guy won't give up something he made just because money is waved in his face. He is complaining that greed is not motivating this person.
- b6 12y agoNo, that's not what I intended at all. I'm sorry if what I wrote made it seem that way. I intended more like a gentle criticism of hipsters. Could you consider applying the principle of charity to the seemingly nasty things people say on the web? The other person might not actually be quite as wicked as they seem.
