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.  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. |
U "never said anything about respect?" What is this, then? "Why begrudge a guy doing
his own build of an American classic?" Isn't "begrudging" the act of "DIS-respecting," which is the opposite of "respect?" You tell me, and talk outa whatever side of your piehole you want. And just for the record, I don't hate the car. I thought it was pretty dayum nice in it's first big buck incarnation. But a guy shaking another couple of 100 gs into an already 100+g car ain't gonna get me to ask for his autograph or label his ****in' theme song as "My way" about his "own build." I also don't mind the 800 million Pro-touring 69 Camaros with twin turbo LSxs that those "movers and shakers" are building. But I'm gonna call it as I see it, and follow the bouncing middle finger to a big "tuff ****" if you don't like it. Defend 'em all you want, but don't try and tell me that it's the "reality" side of car building. You have a morgage, car payments, bills for the kid's stuff, and maybe an occasional night out w/ the wife, right? The Camaro sits on the side when 'lil Bonzo needs a pair of shoes or his Little League sign up fee is due, right? Well, THAT is the "reality" of car building!
