I remember building the red '32 at Steve Frisbee's..... and all the stupid - beyond stupid - issues with it..... and then talking with other builder buddies etc and AFTERWARD they all say ---- OH HELL -- HE'S NEVER BUILT A CAR THAT RUNS AND DRIVES.....
Why AFTERWARDS do you tell me the truth..... why not say so beforehand -- we're friends for gods sake -- give me a nudge and a heads up.
That is what I'm doing for you all...... Heads up! Talk to folks you know that are on the receiving end of waiting for info after the fact - waiting for "fixes" - waiting for product. Sad. It coulda all been so different. Say what you're going to do - do what you say you're going to do. I never bought bullsh!t and excuses and blame (read his stupid post blaming everything and taking NO OWNERSHIP). Go sit in the back of a couple AA meetings --- much applies here.
I'm stressed to the max --- I don't need stress -- it's not healthy. I don't have TIME -- I don't do excuses. I should have listened to my bride of 39 years and fired him in June. I might have recovered the project and had some fun and a running driving car this time around.
Oh to be sure -- it runs like a raped ape..... it's low -- it's mean -- it's also a One Lap Wonder ---- as the NASA official referred to it..... damn it! She will forever be referred to as that. Guys will talk in the pits ---- hey! Remember that one lap Mustang?? It could run a 25 hour enduro later -- and all they'll talk about is "the one lapper". Oh - here comes ol' one lap....
The only reason it could "win" (was never the goal).... was because BENNY MOON is a wheel -- and he could take the pile out for three laps and roast it..... most could never do that!! I'll forever be grateful for his skills, because I got to witness the potential of my mail order bride. I hope to live long enough to see it fixed correctly and run even harder.... and I'd like it to be sorted enough for me to make a 3 minute lap in it. Aaron and I know how tentative the future is.....
