I guess I used the word "hate", but it's an off the cuff remark. Maybe I should've said, "it's not my preference?" NAH, that's to soft. LOL..

And I have been guilty of nit picking at a show. But I am not so classless as to do it in front of the car and owner. I log it into my memory and keep it as things "not to do"!

And a major one... "Traditional" & "back in the day". I was at a cruise in a few years back and got into an argument over that topic. When I asked the fella what did he consider "the day"? he said 60's and 70's.. I laughed and said he was all wrong, I lived it and we did none of the things he thought we all did, he told me I was crazy ( which I guess is partly accurate!) and everyone knows the way it was! I knew he was a lost cause, I didn't want to go down to his level so I walked. I blame TV for that one. It's all Happy Days in their minds. IMHO.. But I never hated on him! 8-) just fooling around now! Great conversation !

Ryan, at least your car was on the track! So the wheelie bars fit the scene. Not a daily driver.

I'll normally take the guys from the shop to at least one show a year, and we'll walk around and "critique" as a learning tool for the guys to see how some things are done, why they shouldn't be, how we would correct/eliminate certain defects, etc, etc. Of course, out of earshot.
