LateralG is a great forum, full of enthusiasts who share a lot of common interests in all types of cars, and car modifications, as well as trucks. Basically speaking, if there's a vehicle that's ever been built, either by a corporation, or an individual building a kit car in his or her basement, we here as an online community embrace the member on here who puts his or her heart into making it their own ride, by making it better than the original designers had in mind. Age doesn't matter in this hobby, from a car standpoint, or a person standpoint. Car people love cars. Period. Car people also love other car people. Period. There is no such thing as brand loyalty in our hobby. If you truly like cars...or trucks...then who cares if it's a Mopar, or Chevy...a Ford, or an international? Custom cars are...well just plain cool.
There are thousands and thousands of threads on this site that contain information that will help most people out there in cyber land build, or modify what their working on. Threads ranging from magazine shoots, to tips and tricks. Threads that contain information on race specific topics, to threads that cover wheel options. Threads that tell you how to set up your brake system to threads that give feedback on specific venders or members...good or bad. I'm telling you, this site has it all.
And then there's this thread started by a true car guy. A thread that gives information to help others, but not in an automotive demeanor. As I mentioned above, car guys love other car guys. And car guys help out other car guys, even when it's not practical or makes sense. The guy behind this thread cares enough to stick around and help a total stranger, late into the evening, with a system on a car that he admittedly doesn't really prefer, up on a lift on a hot sweaty day, when nobody else at this moment wanted to help. A true car guy that is in one of life's greatest battles, yet keeps moving forward, against the wind, with great dignity. Why? Because it matters. Because life matters. Because family matters. Because people are watching...and taking notes.
I hope that in 10...20 years when someone is scanning the Internet, looking for information about a certain issue they are facing, and come across this forum, and find this thread...I hope they see a true car guy. I hope they happen to notice the almost 20,000 posts that have been placed across this forum in effort to support, and help someone new looking for information. I hope that they see value in a mans effort to reach out to others with help that cost them nothing. I hope that they see the value in starting a thread like this one, filled with information that won't just help us all out in this weekends race, but ultimately in the greatest race of all...the race of life.
Of all of the truly terrific threads on LatG, this thread is by far the greatest of all. Thank you Greg Weld. You my friend are a true car guy! :flag2:
