In 1996, I bought a brand-new Ram Air Trans Am. I tell you now, I loved that car. That car was a part of me. It was a totally integrated solution for a young male in his early to mid-twenties.
But there were about four things I hated about that car. Gas mileage, blind spots, T-tops that required constant maintenance to prevent leaking, etc.
During that time-frame, I also worked part time at a machine shop that made parts for hot-rod cars. Most of these cars were totally custom-built from the ground up. Chevy frame, Ford Motor, Jaguar transmission, you name it, they did it. However, the amount of work that went into putting these cars together was pretty serious.
Either work hard to have a custom solution that does EXACTLY what you want, or buy an integrated solution and live with the shortcomings.
How's that for choice.
