You can look at it from a strictly financial viewpoint, but if you do,
you'll also have to agree to bulldoze most every historic building, land
site, etc. in America. That's because most every historic site we have sits
on property that could be put to more lucrative commercial ventures.

So in reality, taking a strictly monetary view of the world would indeed
make us that much poorer, not in money, but in heritage. All they are are
mercenary idiots, destroying a nice antique car for the sake of a flash on
a TV show. Nothing but ego and greed. I say, we SHOULD "throw rocks" at
American Hotrod. They deserve it!

Anybody got their email address? We should give them an earfull of hate
mail.

P.S. What if they had done that to, say, 5999, or the Super Monza, or the
Monza GT? Fortunately, those cars are out of such idiots' reach. (Corvair
