Evilzee28, I passed on responding to your comments about my tirespinning picture earlier, but since you keep on, I must comment now. The picture was to show I am never afraid of dirt, rubber or rock chips on my car. Not to challenge anyone's burnout abilities. My car is obviously a convertible, wantta know why? I LIKE Convertibles. It doesn't have a rollbar, Why? I don't like them in convertibles. Why did I build it like I did? Cause that is what I wanted. No more, no less. However, if some type event is set up and is within 1000 miles of my home, I will be there, I will be participating and I will be pushing it as hard as I feel comfortable. I will not wreck the damn thing though just cause you or some one else thinks I should. You are more than welcomed to buy it though and do whatever you like with it. If we do have an event, bring that evil z/28 on out, I bet you right here, right now, I will spank your butt, then compete in the show and shine just for good measure. Don't worry about the sissy burnout, I got you covered where it counts.

Well my car is show and go......and i have alot of friend's here that are in the same frame of mind.
I surely wish that some who make post's like this, actually had some basis on the post (having a ride for one).
I don't see why some thought's focus purely on racing. It take's alot of time and talent to build some of the car's that are shown on this site. If you know anything about drag racing, you know that part's are expensive and those part's break. My car is currently broken needing a new engine installed. I know the risk of racing my car and have to pay to play with these risk's.

But what does trying to justify a person's idea of a car by bashing or saying that people that build show car's, are car's? Yea, they have 1,000.00 hinge's and 50k motor's, plus ton's and ton's of work involved in getting em that way to show.

To me, car's are a hobby. There are different type's of car's that are in our hobby. I don't think that bashing on a guy for building a show car is right, we need to learn to appreciate the effort and time spent in keeping our hobby alive. I for one, wish i had the talent to build a car like alot of the one's shown on this site. But even for my lack of knowledge, i build all my car's to meet what i want, and i do with my car's what i want, when i want them to do it. That includes car show's and drag racing.

There are so many talented people on this site, people need to kick back and try to enjoy what each of us bring's to this hobby. period.

Whats the matter, don't you like constructive criticism?? This is an open forum, where people can voice their thoughts & opinions. Whether or not you agree with them is irrelevant!! They were someones opinions, just as you have yours, but there's no need to rip into him or me is there. This is just like a back patters association, it's ok if you agree with everyone, but as soon as someone questions the motives behind what you're doing you go off on one.

Don't you people have track days?? you turn up with your car, sign the disclaimer & run it!! Why do you need concession stands & all of the other crap that goes with it. Deal with your own rooms,sort out your own insurance, whats the matter can't you deal with that or is that beyond you. You couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery! Oh & by the way, what says you have class & others don't, look outside the bubble & see that there's a real world out there, where there are more important issues as to whether to spend $1000.00 on a hinge.

The sun doesn't just shine on the "supposed land of the free" ............Get a life!!!!!!

it'll be interesting to see how long this is left up before being deleted because it isn't pro American,& how much of a slagging I get for posting it by you civilised Americans. time starts now....

Wow, yes, I'm a lurker looking for an education and enjoying reading about the successes and failures of the people that work so hard on their projects. I rarely post because I do not have much to add, I'm just taking it all in. I hope to take the G-machine route on my next project.. but back to the reason for my post.

You have a few flaws in your logic that need to be pointed out. Your posts are not "constructive criticism". Constructive criticism is not inflammatory or insulting, but opinions or suggestions that is meant to be delivered in a positive way, not judgmentally. I deal with it all day in my job and it has improved my performance immensely. You rant and then whine when you do not receive friendly replies? Try a civilized approach yourself.
I've read many posts on this forum, and I do not see any requirements that a post must be "pro-American" to not be removed. Taking an anti-American stance is something completely different. I do not know where you are from, and do not really care to know, but it is obvious to me that you have other hidden agendas and anti-American feelings that have bled into this forum and your views of its members and their cars. It appears that you have bought into many of stereotypical views of Americans and assume that this is what we are all like. Take a look in the mirror and evaluate your actions, it might closely resemble that which you so despise.

In conclusion, you Sir, are an a$$hole.

I have sat and really thought this one through. Evilz28 you sound like a Dictator with an emphasis on Dick. Next time you guys(your countrymen) are gettin' your asses kicked or you need somethng to eat, you know our number.
