THIS SITE ISN'T LIKE OTHERS. The love here and willingness to help is top notch. People here have personally helped me out that I don't even know and haven't met and probably never will. I've been loaned tools, been wired large amounts of money for parts to pick up for them because the parts were in my neck of the woods. Why? All because I'm simply a member of this forum. Those guys trusted me and don't know me from Adam other than here. Wouldn't recognize me if I walked past them in WalMart. So, I say all of this to say, when these very guys who go above and beyond to help out a guy like myself and even you (if needed), we don't bash and criticize how "ugly" or "lemming" something that they've built because you don't personally agree with it. Trust me and best believe, there are things here I wouldn't personally like and I might consider ugly. But, you'll never hear me say it. Why? Because, the FAMILY aura here at Lateral-g is like none other. But, with 25 posts in 7 years...maybe you haven't experienced that love and gotten to know the great bunch of guys here. Lastly, I'll make my final point if it makes you feel any better. Yes, there are a plethora of dark wheels on cars today. Guys have used this theme time and again. But, what's the difference in that from when there were hundreds to thousands of cars with chrome wheels? I MEAN...IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN POSSIBLE DO TO A CAR THAT HASN'T BASICALLY BEEN DONE. If you don't think I'm correct in what I'm saying...go back to the project section or the wheels section and read and see how many negative comments you'll find from members negatively criticizing someone's project that they've poured their sweat and hard earned money into. Then you may understand my point. Guys may say, "they would choose another color, wheel choice, etc" or "they don't like a specific manufacturers parts..." But, negatively commenting, you won't find that too much. By the way, the wheels going on my 69 convertible will be dark charcoal centers and black hoops. I'll expect and be waiting for your comments.   |
And yet nothing about the crux of the matter..... someone's a hater if they don't agree with you? You posted it not me. Run your black wheels that's fine great........ I will cheerfully point out to my buddies nice car but for the.... they can disagree or agree with me and you are free to do the same with your buddies... Me personally I'm tired of all the " black" everywhere in the pro touring world ( to say it's not what the vast majority are doing would be to deny what is self evident) and i don't follow it much anymore as they tend to be a bit on the boring side with most going for the same look. ( and yes I have a very nice pro touring car, in my opinion, so I understand the pro touring thing quite well) I also have opinions on those that build their own vs having a " pro" built car.........wonder which side of the coin I'm on that one? Lol I enjoy reading ones opinions on things and there are other places where that takes place and I enjoy those forums a bit more then here. To sum it up I prefer a classic look ( which is what makes these cars so popular) and don't much care for the rush to " late model " them with "black" being a large part of. Cheers and have a great day.
