I would just like to point out that Lynn and I don't really know each other personally. I don't know that much about him, and he probably doesn't know that much about me. So, we're not "teaming up" against anyone. We have had no personal correspondence about these issues at all.
What I have learned though, from reading his prior posts, is that we seem to have some of the same views about the integrity of this hobby we both love. We are also both pointedly opinionated about our feelings regarding the sanctity of "real" cars...original cars.
Lynn has impressed me numerous times with his comments, but none more than this last one. (and NOT because he mentioned my name - that only embarrassed me).
I have a personal view that none of us are important at all. It's the cars that are important. We're only the temporary caretakers of them, if we're lucky. Will they be preserved properly for those in the future long after we're all gone? Will their history be saved?
I wish the vast majority of people in this wonderful hobby had Lynn's views. It's too bad there's so much money in it today. That changes things.
