John IkedaGUEST
Purely f- you know, from a designer guy perspective, and I know there's other design people that might see this, but for me it's just a, uh, excuse for a lot more freedom [laughs] because it is a one-off.

John IkedaGUEST
And, you know, a hot rod might be a good representation if you... well, but you get to spend the time and, and just purely have the room to express something that's been on your mind, that somebody's been telling you, you know, you can't.

John IkedaGUEST
And, uh, especially, you know, when, when, uh, you're starting out, it's, it's an amazing thing to be able to work on show cars and basically really express, you know, your ideas and things, and it's a sense of freedom for designers.

John IkedaGUEST
So there's different reasons behind it all, but, uh, selfishly from a designer's perspective, it's, it's a, it's a, a play day.
