That's cool just lock up this thread. I'll go hang out in the "Garage Built" thread and play nice.

If I sound a bit like a proletariat-elitist… good.

GOOD!!! So, it wasn't just me that wanted to reply to this thread. I read it early this morning and refrained from posting. Not many members had replied/read it yet, 'cause I was "just waiting" for the responses to come pouring in. And I'm glad they did!!!
So, I guess I would be a "poser" car enthusiast because I cannot build my own car and want a resto-mod/pro-touring Camaro or Chevelle according to you, correct?? Well, that quote above pretty much sums it up; ARROGANT!!!!
Believe me motor"mouth"mike, because if I "COULD" build my own car, I "WOULD"!!

No, I won't lock it. People are free to express their opinions and I respect that and welcome that.

However, if a person uses their opinion as a personal attack, then they are not welcome here. I don't buy into crap of making a snide remarks and than adding a smiley face behind it as if it somehow makes it ok.

So it really boils down to either you want to be a part of this community and hang out with some very cool, kind, friendly, and genuine people, or you don't. If you demonstrate that you are unable to make that decision, I'll make it for you.

Fair enough. I opened the can of worms and I'll manage them in a civil manner.

You do understand that is a pack mentality, right? I can brave your comments if you care to make them directly. Don't feel you need to hide behind popular opinion to express yourself. I know I don't.

Believe me motor"mouth"mike, because if I "COULD" build my own car, I "WOULD"!!

Wow. That was original. You do what is best for you, if that means buying/paying for a car go for it. I know you would have a greater appreciation for the car if you built it yourself. I wasn't born with the skills I have today; I watched with my mouth shut, took advice, asked the questions to fill the gaps in my knowledge base and made my mistakes. I encourage you to do the same, buy the tools as you need them and make the project your own.

If you'd like to have a serious debate without the name calling I am here.

debate is fine, lets not resort to personal insults. Mike isn't.

Hey Mike, you ever think we get to tied up in building a car that we want everybody to like instead of what we like.I'm the last guy that should be on this web site. I'm building a pro street 68 firebird with a overhead cam 6 and some weber side drafts Its not gonna be fast and surely not going cone killin,but its what I like. So set back check out some really coooool projects. and remember free your mind and your a$$ will follow.HAVE FUN!!!
