I like your analogy - I did a ton of work on my own home but don't feel compelled to make other people feel stupid because they "paid retail" for their home.
For the vast majority of us this is a hobby vehicle, not our work truck or primary driver (for some it is, I know that), so it's truly a first-world argument, as they say.
I also, though, understand the instinct - no one wants to scrimp and save and bust knuckles for years so that some rich trust fund baby can write a check at Barrett Jackson without caring what it cost and wind up with a nicer truck.
As someone who's been laying under mine getting dirty for 3 years, I pose no such risk!
