I'll simply point out that, once upon a time, Jim Davis actually drew the Garfield comic strip. For the last two decades, he's been an "executive cartoonist" while legions of drones turn out the strips, books, posters, etc. As a cartoon aficionado, that really ruins it for me - I'll take the work turned out by one artist, day after day, knowing he or she sweated blood to do it.

In the same way, there's perhaps a difference between distributing the load in a real racing season, and cynically rubber-stamping one's name on things in return for a check. In the end, $20-25k for Unca Carroll's blessing wasn't worth it to me. Nor do I think CSX4000's will ever appreciate like originals; they'll just remain some fraction of that premium pricier than other quality builds.

But no diss on any 4000 or its owner, none at all. This isn't even a chocolate-vanilla-strawberry world; it's 31 Flavors and they all have admirers.
