Wow. Talk about blowing a topic out of proportion. All Sammy said is that Sam's deuce is a genuine day 2 car from back in the day. Don't think anyone can argue that. All should agree there is a difference between what was done back then vs done today.

Going off on these tangents is what sucks the life even further out of the hobby. To each his own boys. Let it go while its still kinda fun.

Thanks Darren. that really sums it up!

So Sam's Deuce is more Day 2 because the parts were put on a few years before someone else's day 2 car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Matt, I consider you a smart car guy and a knowledgable parts person. You know what I was driving at.

Did you take into account leap years in your math ?

No, someone smarter than I will have to figure that one out!

For the record, I was just pushing buttons. Hopefully no one took any offence. No matter who or how its labeled, &quot;Day 2&quot; kicks ass!

Romans were just people living at a particular time in history and did not know or care that they would be remembered.
But Edward Gibbon spent years researching and writing &quot;The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire&quot;.
If not for Gibbons work, we may not have ever known about this important time in human history.
So which is more important, the Romans for just living their lives, or Gibbon for doing the work to pass on that history to future generations?
I personally don't look at either one of them being more important than the other. They were just people, at different times in history, doing what they do.
Get it?
