Probably the same type of people who want me to sell them a car with $2,500 radiator for $50 because that's what they paid in 1959, and my car will "need a whole new interior because they saw a wavy stitch in a seat and the door had a mark on it."
I have words for those people but none of them are polite words so i won't use them here.

#1 Fun is imperative, mainstream is overrated
#2 If they think it is impossible, prove them wrong
#3 If the science says it impossible you are not being creative enough.
#4 No shame in recreating something you never had
#5 If it were not for the law & physics you would be unstoppable
