Not everything is done to impress others. My friend has one of the fastest belt sanders in the world, it will impress nobody other than fellow belt sander racers. I make diesel engines run and produce average results and last a long time, just what their owners desire, but they are not impressive. My hobby is making gas engines run fast and who cares about longevity, but I don't build top fuel cars, so my little motors only impress me. My Miata looks more like something my wife would drive rather than a curve buster, but I like to twist it's tail and could care less if people wonder why the old fat guy is driving a "girls car". Make your car please you, and damn the rest of the world.
