yup.. the check book guys ruined it for most of us. took the fun out of the hobby. on top of the car/parts prices everyone and there brother think they can make money from car guys.
i liked the hobby a lot better before mopar became the fad. you had real mopar enthusiasts all over. the older guys helped out the young up coming guys. don't see that near as much these days because the asshole check book guys got involved.
