<VV> Throwing Stones at AMERICAN HOTROD

[George Jones]

Mark,

You always have the option of buying a copy of every automobile ever made
and putting them in a warehouse somewhere, that way you can go look at your
private museum any time you want. Frankly, I'm not going to tell any vehicle
owner what he/she can do with their own vehicle, unless they are doing
something illegal with it. This kind of attitude is what makes recruiting
the younger generation difficult. When you get criticized about the
modifications you do to a car, by fellow car club members, it makes you want
to sell the car and move onto something different, or just quit the club.
I've experienced this a number of times, with my current V8 conversion, as
well as my previous 68 convertible show car with Camaro inspired stripes.
Fortunate for me, I have thick skin and I just consider the source.

As far as preserving history, I believe there are so many "T's & A's" out
there in original configuration that we don't have to worry about one more
going by the wayside.

JMHO
