Yeah I'd just ignore every comment on there. Those sorts of sites bring out some of the internet's finest armchair quarterbacks. I'm pretty sure all of the guys posting critical comments take their car to Pepboys for an oil change.

Can’t help but wondering what drives someone to do all the work building something like this and then selling it right away..?Yup....Pepboys.

I wouldn’t feel safe driving this without first having the frame checked out by an NDT (Non Destructive Testing) company. I do it with my own work.Seriously dude?

I’m neither qualified (nor stupid enough) to comment on the build quality. Luckily, the seller has done so indirectly by assigning a minimum value of $10.71 / hour to his time.
Even assuming he’s assigned some value to his own entertainment in conducting the build, and/or has assumed the parts were effectively free, still a very low shop-time rate.Totally clueless.

That harness mount is seriously unsafe. The fact that no harness bar was welded in leads me to believe that there are other structural issues…. But then again, 90% of the home-brew locosts are like that. Suspect at best.While yours may not be SCCA GCR legal, I hope he never looks at the seatbelt attachment points on his daily driver. The older the daily driver, the more surprised he may be.

It looks to me that he’s answered a number of the questions posted here with an addendum to the eBay posting. In particular:
“What do you mean no reserve, the price starts at $7500? For this car, that’s cheap. Don’t like my price, build your own damn car.”
LOL! Then again, no bids yet.I've never understood this logic. Starting an auction at $1 and setting the reserve at $7,500 wastes everyone's time. Just say how much it is and move on! It took a few months for mine to sell and that was when the weather was nice. The crowd that will actually open the wallet and buy a Locost is small.
I really need to stop clicking on BAT or Daily Turismo links and getting myself fired up...
If it makes you feel any better the one comment mine got on DT wasn't kind.
