The system has failed!
And still you find the strength to go on living...you got guts. Screw Moparts!
Mike... I wouldn't worry about it at all, (I've never been band from there ) but it sure are some strange people over there, I had a post where I got runner up one weekend and got like 20 replys, some body else had a post where they went to the 4th round and got 35 dollars and got 3 pages of congrats on way to go on getting money back?. Since then I've looked at the board different.
Reminds me of an old Mopar club here that snubbed me when I bought the Mustang as a daily driver. I was treated like I had leprosy. They would not talk to me, even when I drove the Dart or the Dakota R/T.
The last time they acted like that I was on the bike and just for grins and giggles, I did a huge burn-out thru the cars on my way out.
Reminds me of a local club we have here on the island. I showed up with my Cuda, a very ruff one. Once asked what I drove by a fellow Cuda owner and a mint on mint car he had, the group looked at my car, turned there back to me and walked away. They refused to look at me when I spoke to them.
:cheers:Wow,I can relate to that!Im not a fan of imports either and although my tastes vary,I go to car shows and talk to the owners of Chevys,Fords,Hot Rods like 51 Mercs,and even the lowriders and youre right,they are car guys too.And to get snubbed just because your car isnt mint yet,thats just being downright arrogant and stuck up.Reminds me of a time back in the 80s when everyone use to race out in this popular country road and there was this guy with a wicked rattle can gray primer 74 Duster with a big Mopar Pro hood scoop and man this car was whipping everyones cars!!I mean this Duster had that big cam choppy thumping idle that made your teeth rattle when you stood next to it.Everyone thought it was slow just because of the way it it looked but when he secretly popped open the hood for me(he knew I loved A bodies and Dusters and I was expecting a dirty ugly engine)my eyes about popped out of my sockets to see a highly chromed and clean big block with headers,a tunnel ram,2 Holley 4 barrel carbs.He never told what CID the engine was but man,the rough looks of his car fooled everyone!lolI'm with ya Ed. Nothing like trying to get into the car seen only to get snub and treated like a second rate 2 legged deaf,dumb, blind dog with mange and fleas.
No matter who shows up with what, I take an intrest and chat with them. I'n not a fan of imports, but I'll still talk with the kids that have them. There car guys right? Just hot roddin something different.

And the occasional bird poop while parked under a tree :angry7:I spent thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars on new interrior, and body work, on my 74, had the 1400rpm idling small block, big scoop, and had it painted flat grey for two reasons.
Cops.
And Kids.
You don't have to deal with all the BS if your cars not shiny.
Yeah, they are car guys that don't really have the same raw material to work with we had. We are so fortunate, to have been brought up with the old iron we have.
Can you imagine being faced with modifying a ricer? Yek!
But I compliment them, it is a whole different ball game, but they still are car enthusiests. One of the guys here at work has a Triburion (sp?) Hyundai that he has done EVERYTHING to. He loves it just as much as I like my Barracuda.
I never signed up as I wouldnt last a week.
just an update, one of my customers who just started going on moparts about 7 months ago just posted about getting his 1st NSS car. he's all excited about going to get it and he got bashed on there saying it was me.yada yada yada.
anyway,he made 1 reply saying he's all excited to get it this weekend and they locked the post and nobody who bashed him got a vacation. just the post got a permanent vacation. a little hypocricy.(sp.)
69DARTGT banned me from moparts....he locked 2 of my threads in 2 days and i PMed him and asked WHY???... since i didnt BOW and KISS HIS FEET he BANNED me!!! :supz: \\/
