Richard,
Don't let 'em get to you.
There are some on this list (and you know whom you are) That will make
fun of anything. But on the other side of the coin those same folks can
be real knowledgable about anything Spridgetly. But then there are some
that just pass the day waiting for an opening.
Welcome to the list. There is a massive wealth of info here, probably
thousands of years of combined experience. But this is also a community
and in any community you will find off-topic comments, jokes, rudeness,
sympathy, support (both personal and automotive), knowledge and
ignorance. Young farts, old farts, even middle aged farts. Or as George
Carlin put it. "We got the old tunes, the new tunes, the greatest music
in town!!!! But we never play it!!!"
There are a number of topics that are strictly verboten: Zappa, Tommy
Roe, Blue Oyster Cult, SUV's, stereos, beer, cats, topless driving,
removal of drivelines for towing, brake fluid, guns, politics, religion,
lunch, dinner, driving, racing, breathing, and cars. I think I got them
all.
Oh yea - comments about off-topic comments are the only ones allowed.
Never take anything seriously. And again Welcome to the list!!!
Larry
