Like budnate, I've been able to enjoy this hobby and progress to more desirable cars by finding a great deal here and there, seeing the potential in the car, and restoring/fixing/improving things to bring out that potential. That's a part of the hobby that gives me great enjoyment. I've been able to justify the "flipping" in my own mind by doing the car justice on some level and not doing things "quickie." I think if someone invests time and/or money in a car to improve it, then "flipping" it isn't such a bad thing. Its when the greed factor creeps in and people shortcut things, hide flaws, or flat-out misrepresent a car that I have a real problem.
