and besides, he can always quit if he wants to... he's not hooked... he's just not ready to quit yet... why would you think he needs to quit... he doesn't have a problem... why would you think he has a problem...

I enjoy the humor that goes on around here and Lat G is definitely my favorite site. Ive met a ton of folks since I've joined and have had helping hands along the way.

I had to get the internet on my phone so I could check on what was happening here! I'm like Rodger, when I'm out and bored I'm on here looking around. I've met some great people as well. Garage Dog 65 (Jim)and I talk a couple times a month usually and we are 6 hours apart. We have designed projects via e-mail and phone, it just doesn't get any cooler. Rodger was nice enough to hang around his shop late when my Dad and Uncle were traveling through Bakersfield to give them a tour. Oh and the wives were waiting in the car! Scott should be proud of what he started here. Those are just a couple examples of why this is a great community.

I'm also starting to judge the quality of my threads by how soon Greg posts!

Since I completed my restoration and joined the Lat-G community and started attending events, I've found something that really stands out a lot more than our cars, and that's the people you meet here and the friendships that are made. A few months ago I met Doug(DFRESH) on this website and then at a car show in Orange County. At the show, he immediately asked me to bring my car over and hang out with his friends and family. It was a great time and it really made the whole show for me. He's got an amazing 69 Pro-touring Camaro and he knows how the drive the hell out of it(watched him on the autocross), but what really stands out is just how damn friendly, positive, and fun he is to hang out with. Just last week we were talking on the phone about the upcoming El Toro event and the BBQ he's hosting at his place afterwards and how the whole day is just going to be a blast with everyone else who's going to be there. I also mentioned to him that I was thinking of purchasing a '73 Trans Am roller that I found up in north LA county. I've always wanted to build a track-focused car and a '73 TA is dear to my heart since I had one in college. Well, immediately, Doug says, "Hey, if you purchase that thing, let me know and I'll grab my truck and trailer and will drive up there and get it". That's a lot of driving and towing and he didn't even think twice about immediately offering. Well, I did end up purchasing the TA, and today we went up and got it and we just dropped it off in my garage a few hours ago. I tried to give him some money but of course he wouldn't take it. Thankfully I was at least able to give him a new MSD 6AL box I was selling on Ebay that he said he could use for his new engine.

Doug, thank you so much man. It was no small task to help me tow the car from northern LA down to San Diego. The gas, the traffic, the time off work, the wear and tear on your truck and trailer, everything. I totally appreciate it. I really do.

And thanks to all the other people on this site who, every day, help people like me with favors, or guidance, or whatever. I'm going to be buying a truck and trailer of my own soon and hopefully I can pass along this sort of favor and help the next guy like me. It's a spirit of enthusiasm and friendship that's very contagious.

Agreed Chris this site is filled with great people and I'm looking forward to seeing/meeting many of you guys out at the "Run to the Coast" event in a few weeks.

I've decided to stay down in California for the Delmar event and will have my 73TA on the Optima Battery Booth so I'll look for you down there as well all things equal bud.

Thank God, because you, as well as many others, definitely add a LOT of humor to this place.
