While you have the soap box out...

Bob, like the others, I have enjoyed your posts. It seems about anyone who has sought help on this forum has received a thoughtful answer from your experience. Thank you for that.

Now for my shot at moaning and groaning: Along the same line is what people say as they walk by guys' and gals' rods at local street car shows. Some of the owners do not have big ticket machines or the cleverest base car but have put more thought, effort, and time and percentage of their spendable income on their machines than the owners of some the nicer units. I believe that there are several rodders whose feelings have been needlessly hurt by thoughtless passer-bys who did not understand what they were looking. Included in this population are the ones who walk by with sneering cuts and have never built or worked on anything. I guess it just human nature that people do things like this. But we do not have to like it and can think about what we are saying too.

Despite all my grumbling, I think that most of the hands-on-wrencher car enthusiast are some of the most helpful, talented and enjoyable folks to be around any where. This forum illustrates that.

Now someone else can have the pulpit. Ha!!
