I'm not any kind of UN butthole, but it seems to me that some of us(me included, at 63) seem to be getting more pissed off as we age. Come on, folks, there ain't many of these cars left, and the younger generation isn't interested if it's not electric or hydrogen powered. I'll bet we'll have to have some kind of special permit to buy fuel for internal combustion engines in 10 years from now. RRR, you're a vast book of knowledge, but you seem to be getting more bitter the past few months. I'm an old Jarhead with a broken back, shoulder, and other physical problems. My '70 Swinger 340 is an anchor in my life, and helps keep my rudder centered. The knowledge I've gained on this site has helped me immensely. I come here to escape the daily BS, and go back to 1970, when life was simpler. Maybe I'm dreaming, but that's my retirement dreams.

Good points here.. I will be 67 next week I come on here as a release, I was forced into retirement last year and am dealing with worsening arthritis but I keep racing and working on my cars and trucks. I am a little bitter but I have found I am also more sensitive like a few weeks ago I was chastised for placing a for sale ad twice by a member ( not a moderator ) I was ready to cancel my account and move on but took a deep breath and came back because for the most part there are good people on here. I have been successful both selling and buying here. I will give advice to anybody that asks and have given away parts for free in the past. Everybody is entitled to their opinion just don't chastise me for an over site
