Thoughts.....................

First, you would not want me to try and tell anyone how to install a light bulb, much less a clutch. Remember, all of us have opinions, few of us have knowledge.

Second, I certainly fall into the "New Age" CC member category. I am not a gearhead, wrencher, or racer. Yes, I will spend a chunk a change before my car is on the road, more than some, less than others. But, I swear, at no time did the fact that I wanted my car to be better than some guy who happens to post here on CC become a consideration. I would be real surprised if many people buy cars just to be able to brag here at CC (most of us will never even meet face to face). I suspect most spend money to get the car they want (or as close to it as their bank account will allow).

Finally, sparring with Evan is interesting, like a chess match. He's opinionated, bright, and articulate (OK, other adjectives may also apply). But, when you can get him to say, "You're right", you know it's been a good day. People who have strong convictions never bother me, even if I think they're wrong. It's the people who never stand up for anything that I worry about.

Best wishes
