Yes they are, for whatever reason our wives just seemed to get along great and it has been down hill ever since! Hah! We meet a couple times a year at this show or that one and always have a great time. If half the stories are true….. perhaps on occasion we have to much fun. Several members on here have blackmail photos! Hah! The Carlisle show is really the only one left I had not been to, we attend many of the Midwest and Southern shows and races as I race a Cuda. I know many of us have said it over and over but life is short, and driving a few hundred miles to see a buddy has more value with each passing year. I have been in many folks shops and many have been in my shop. It is just a fundamentally great group of guys and you get just exactly what you think you are going to get with each one. No posers or pretenders in the group, they are what they are. Just a hot mess of personalities and backgrounds. But it just seems to work.
