WOW, what a post. I can classify the rodders I know into two catagories literate and illiterate. You guys definately fall into the last catagory. All of the responses were well thought out and very articulate. I know I fall into one of those catagories that Bob defined, just cant decide which one. I appreciate all of the posts here but this entire thread is something you want to print out and take to the reading room with you so you can really ponder the meaning of hot rod life. Thanks
