Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I basically just go to this forum. I will go to others when I need certain info. I check this forum and get off most of the time. Learned a long time ago that if you get too involved in all of the site, you start to get too "attached", (lack of better term).

Keep a little distance and it's much easier to deal with the jerks.
My 2 cents.

Thanks for the advice SNKEBIT. I'd said before that maybe there's a certain ebb and flow associated with the general flavor of attitudes (positive/negative), and I'm not expecting nirvana here. I've had a tendency to look into a lot of the 'advice wanted' threads partly because I am not nearly as sharp as the expert members and am eager to learn more. I've picked up a lot of good info. But there's been a lot of non-helpful (negative) posts in some of those threads.

I'm sometimes surprised by the posts from guys that I thought were the most negative. Out of the blue they'll drop the attitude and show a side of themselves that is 100% reasonable and even reveal that they can be great guys. It's why I hesitate to complain about any single individual and choose to speak of 'the trend' instead.

I'd become somewhat of a FABO junkie. My computer in the garage is on 24/7 and one of the pages usually left open was FABO. That way I could quickly post updates on various projects and also I could follow updates on other's builds. I'm fairly reclusive in the shop. The ability to share info (back & forth) with other members holds down the level of sheer mind numbing boredom on the days I spend buffing, sanding, etc... You guys probably don't realize how excited I get when I see you making headway on the cars you're working on. It helps to keep me inspired.

But you're right SNKEBIT. A bit of a step back can sometimes be healthy.
