So, what gives with folks buying professionally built cars? Last night a check in we saw 2 blatantly bought cars, and at least 3 that I am 99% sure they were bought. And this was only about 45 minutes into check in, so there may be more. To me it completely defeats the purpose of parent/son building the car together. Instead of thinking out layout, cutting, sanding, drilling, and painting, you just go to ebay and hit buy it now! If you don't have the tools, the scout store in town offers tools to use. They even advertise a weekend to come and lay out the cars, at least 4 bandsaws and sanders to use when we went last year. And the people are really helpful too.
It just pisses me! And on top of that, it broke my heart, but in the parking lot I felt that I needed to tell my son that he probably wouldn't win, but to be proud of his car regardless, because wherever he places, that is his car. Built, not bought!
Sorry. Rant over.
