It really is a shame, because I think it's supposed to be fun, but if the boys just end up feeling crappy then why do it? Yes Mike… this is what I understand as well.

Kate and Becca, just know that if your husbands don't go all out to help your sons have a great car, they will just suffer when the actual competition happens. I remember being so frustrated that my boat looked like crap (I don't remember the car that much) because I actually did it myself. I also lost really badly because I hadn't really painted or sanded very much. It was a horrible experience. So either go all out, or don't bother showing up.
