Well said Belair. Oh, and pass some of that medication around to the rest of us.

Self-policing the neighborhood keeps the neighborhood a happy place.

I feel Dan is just stating a fact. He didn't say he did or didn't like the car, and didn't really cut the car up. Just pointing out some facts about the rear. I would sware there was nothing personal here. I think it is a very nice car also. JMO Sam

Thank you guy for clarifying some points. I really meant no harm by the comment. I am an easy going guy and think (I hope) I have communicated this in my post, private messages and emails to others. It is especially easy to misunderstand the direction of an internet post since there is voice tone or facial expressions. I promise to abide by our new standard here on Yenko.net.

As for Steve and Andrew, private messages have been sent and resolutions have been met. Thanks guys! Again, I apologize!

No real harm...and no new standards...seems like once a year we need to remind ourselves is all...and no Joe...you can't have any.

Look on the brighter side. If your car can run the gauntlet here and come out unscathed, it is a real winner. You might even learn of a few mistakes done during the restoration. For the perfectionist, your car may come out the better from the experience. There are some pretty keen minds and sharp eyes here. Not much gets by and this is good. The nit picking helps keep people honest and the fraudsters gun shy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Common Keith - did you ever think for a moment that most people do not want their vehicle to be scrutinized? Do you believe that every member on this site wants their car to be "The ultimate garage/trailer queen"? Is having an incorrect or less than perfect car illegal, immoral or just plain wrong? How many 900+ point cars on this site get driven? Maybe, just maybe - some guys want to put more than 10 miles a year on a car.

Truth is, there are many different types of people in this hobby and on this site. Your post assumes that only perfect cars are allowed to be owned and/or sold and that people on this site have the right to critique someones car. How is that so?

Some people here feel the need to show everyone what vast amounts of knowledge they have on a certain model so they play a little game with themselves called "let's see how many incorrect things I can find on someone's pride and joy and then let the world know what I found so they can see how smart I am"

Most members of this site can pick apart a car blind-folded. Yet, they are respectful enough to keep out of someone elses business. Do you ever see Jim M., Kurt S., Ed C., Rich F.or Jerry M. posting comments about someone's Camaro? They are on this site frequently but have no desire to show the world how knowledgeable they are.

Maybe we can get Tom to start a Forum called "Go ahead, pick apart my car" to satisfy all you guys who feel the need to butt in on someone elses business.

Hylto, Hylton, Hylton You are taking this thing way out of contex. America IS a free country. With anything else people evaluate homes, cars, other people, clothes, attitudes and so forth. Thats life. You have a very nice car. RELAX and take it for a ride! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

You may be quite right Sam but I just find all this critiqing does nothing to increase the participation or enjoyment in this hobby.

Its just the way it is. I am sure you have thick skin living in Canada. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

There are 3 things I try to instill into my kids:

If you fool around long enough without protection, it's gonna come back and bite you;

The Toronto Maple Leafs suck;

and cars are to be enjoyed.
