Hey Denny,
On your observations of what constitutes a burnout it's refreshing to see sanity show up to this little party - completely uninvited I might add and yet most welcome - thanks for a little honest and rational perpective to put a cap on this "pissing contest". Although I must confess to visualizing that burnout you described in a hospital zone with blind kids crossing the street and a bomb strapped to ya - Yippee Yo Kiyae - Jaysus 'ole creeper will redline his sanctomonious meter...
As to the issue of the kit question I think you answered it yourself. The next time someone asks that question give 'em the answer you said you'd like to say "No you F****** idiot it's a mirage it's not real." and if that doesn't make ya feel just a little bit better keep giving that answer until ya do. Funny, but kids rarely ask that question or any other truly stupid questions and it begs the question "How do they grow up to be stupid adults?" - hmmmm...
I had a look in your gallery - nuttin - so I have only your description to go by and it would hardly qualify as a kit-car in my book. Enjoy your great ride - f*ck 'em...
