If that were the case I wouldn't be Auto-Xing a Turbo Buick.

Innovators set the trends, and because far too few people are willing to take the risks to follow their own heart's desires they rely upon trends and labels to allow them to fit in. Call it a sense of belonging, call it human nature.

I know my brother and I would talk your ear off about a car like yours because it is truly different.

Do you wake up each morning thinking that you should act or behave differently than you feel to protect the feelings of others?

I know I don't.

Maybe everyone should win at sports too?

so you can do and act however you want on this board? Didn't know you owned it, thought Scott did. I don't think you'll enjoy this site, and invite you to try another that's more in line with your views.

No. I don't. But I do project a certain common courtesy when introducing myself to others. Some who may have common beliefs as I, and some who may not. Hence...this forum. We don't judge here. We accept.

We accept those who build, we accept those who buy. The BELIEF is the common denominator. The belief that the end result is what is desired. Whether we built it, bought it or just admired it.

Please don't cast judgement.

Instead, simply look at the cars before you and get inspiration. Gather appreciation. Gain experience. No one proclaims to be "the end all, be all". We all appreciate what each other does.

The comparison to sports is silly. Are you looking to win? If so, "winning" is actually something we all have varied opinions of. Did you win by building? Did you win buy buying? Did you win by sharing? Did you win by experiencing? See? It's all relative, and we all pretty much share that here.

The misconception is that I don't like expensive cars; I do. There is no denying the innovation of the artist who built it. I just can't hold a conversation with a person that doesn't turn their own wrenches, as there is no common ground or stories to share.

You didn't touch a nerve at all. Always calm and collected here.
I was just trying to understand exactly what you said and who you are behind the computer. I guess we found out .

Alot of great builders and innovators around, sure would be a shame if they went broke because there was nobody like me to build cars for. You know the ones with no skills, just a wallett. I appreciate and respect all people who build their own and the builders that build for others.

I'm old and been around the block a few times, my advice would be take the high road and don't bash people personally, especially when trying to convince others about your one sided radical views.

with that said, and since he's no longer a member here, I'll close the thread.
