    As long as the parts are of the same quality, and they are assembled correctly its no different.



    Where garage builds usually fail is either crappy parts or crappy assembly or both.

    Yeah, we dodged a bullet. I was feeling pretty cool about it until I saw all the Navy ships leaving Pearl Harbor.

    I figured that the Navy has the best physical oceanography data in the world available to them. When I saw them leaving I thought we might be in for it.
