What about the guy sinking 100k into a number matching restore, or even a ‘tribute’ car? They bad too? I'm not pointing this at you Bob, more in general. I see it all the time and I think it is weak and disingenuous. If any of us suddenly came into a bunch of cash I am pretty sure we’d all build that car we’d want and not put some kind of cap spending cap it. Hell, I think that is not only un-American, it’s down right Communist! Build it bigger-better-faster! Now that is American! http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscart...es/blan11l.jpg |

No, there are a number of posts in this thread alluding to the money, yours was just most recent. But I stand by my thoughts, I just don't understand the animosity towards big $$ cars. The guy takes an American car and builds it to the Nth degree and people feel the need to rip it because it costs money??? At least this one will be driven - he's taking it on power tour. It's no queen.
Since you got defensive..."it ain't about the bux."....you basically did say it was about the money: "IF I WERE A RICH MAN."......."just alluding to another rich guy from Pro-Touring.Com with another gadzillion buck car in his collection" But it's now it's not the money, it's the fact he hasn't owned it for many years? I've only owned my Z a few years, is that bad? Or he didn't live on cup o noodles or work 5 jobs at once? I don't know the guy's back story, nor do I care. If he has the $$ to do that, chances are he earned the $$ in one form or another. Good for him. If a guy has money for a few, is that bad? I never once said anything about respect, not sure where that came from. I don't care if the owner is a great guy or a complete jerk. All I said was don't hate a car because there is a lot of cash in it, because that is a constant tone in threads like this. And I find that disingenuous. Pull your panties out of the bunch they are in. :lol: BTW, I was being sarcastic about the Communist thing. I thought you might pick up on that, lol. Feel free to hate the owners, but love the American Muscle. |

That is my reality, yes. But not everyone's. And the thread is about the car not the owner. I could begrudge you for not having little Bobs so you can spend more money on cars then I can, but I don't. I'm very happy you are getting the AMX where you want it and you're getting the Buick fixed right - that all rules. Life is too short to get mad at those things.
And the Chevelle is pretty neat - we obviously agree on that. That is my basic point, if a thread is about a car, so say yay or nay to what you like or don't about the car, but cash spent is irrelevant to the car at hand. Cash spent alone is no reason to make sarcastic comments - now poorly spent cash, say lambo doors on a PT Crusier, then that is something to goof on! Oh yeah, I see what you mean about begrudge & respect. I never read it that way, but I understand why you would. But I meant it in more of the classical definition. be·grudge –verb (used with object), -grudged, -grudg·ing. 1. to envy or resent the pleasure or good fortune of (someone): She begrudged her friend the award. You still love me Bob? :cheers: Hey, the Yanks won. |
