Build it or buy it, the debate

[turbotalon1g]

I'm understanding that I am coming off quite opinionated here.
In case anyone didn't know I wasn't attacking anyone on here, if it wasn't for some of these crazy shop/customer builds I wouldn't see any awesome HP cars and for those that didn't know that is how I found the site, paying LSE to do a timing belt job when they had some special. Then it became my only car and I needed a clutch and they cut me a smoking deal and did the clutch and I threw in a fuel pump too.
A couple of weeks later welcome to dyno day and car starting on fire.

Sorry I don't care to always nut hug, but don't take me so seriously online I'm way too full of shit for anyone to do that, if you think I am being serious just ask.

But on topic, I "think" i'd rather build than buy, but too many times have I wanted or said when elbows deep in something that I wish I would/could pay someone to do it. My personal goal is to build an engine though even though it might be cheaper/easier/faster to buy one new or used.
