There's always a critic

[Karl Buchka]

To play Devil's advocate for a second: Some of these comments strike me as a bit hypocritical. I posit that everyone in this thread has, at some point or another, been at a car show and picked at someone else's car. We've all done it.

It could be that the guys the OP mentioned are jealous, insecure, stupid, have small dicks, or whatever, or maybe the panel gaps did suck. I don't pretend to know. In the end it's just an opinion, and everyone is entitled to one.

Anyway, **** those clowns. My favorite way to deal with them is to get in on the trash talking. Take their complaints and roll with them. Tell them you saw the owner earlier and he looked like a giant asshole.
