I was going to point out all that crap at the big party... In fact - I was going to go off on the drag car and the 9... but then the driveway filled up with even more crap and I lost my train of thought....
After many years -- I've heard it all - dozens of times... and that kind of talk usually comes from the dregs... not real car people. Real car people admire the good things and understand the other.
I usually just feel sorry for them but I never pay one bit of attention to them.
