    Well stated, Bob. What appeals to me here is simply this: Where does an aging hot rodder-muscle car freak who loves "sleepers" go and sorta fit in?

    I tried pure hot rod forums and unless you're pre 49 you don't really fit in.

    The muscle car boards don't really have a spot for bald old guys driving Caddy's and I never found a board devoted to sleepers (cars, not my habit of dozing off).

    But here, I felt like I fit in. Nobody cares what I drive as long as I don't try to answer questions I know nothing about.

    This is the best car related board I've ever found. Period.

    Your absolutely right, it's like walking into a local clubhouse and enjoying a laugh, aa helping hand or a kick in the but.

    You always leave happy and well informed.

    Don't know about the rest of you but I know that I need to do some soul searching every now and then because it is so easy to get caught up in the "process" - - - - thanks for the post, Bob !

    that was a great post bob. everything that you said was true. I have always felt that i was blessed to have found this site and all of the guys on it. It is the only site that i have ever been on that allows me to ask some stupid questions and to give answers that are excepted. I think of all of you as my extended family. That is a rare thing these days as the internet makes it so impersonal some times. yes there has been some bumpy days where we butt heads but it is usually resolved without hard feelings. but all in all i think that as a large group we get along exceptional well. we morn the ones we lose and welcome the new ones to the fold as friends.
