Didn't know that I was in need of aide, but I do appreciate Itbites sentiment. I still catch lots of razzing from the AZ Cobra gang I hang out with, but its not nearly as caustic after there were several of them watching me at the strip.
We all like our cars and want different things from them. A lot of people get satisfaction from making, or buying, something as close to an original as possible, some people make lots of upgrades to the power or handling or braking or creature comforts, some people like to have their car be 'way different, but still similar, to the masses. At the end of it all, its your car, its your money, enjoy it the way you want. I do. The Ford vs. Chevy debate will never end and in fact, it would be a pretty boring world if we all liked the same things. Personally, I enjoy the friendly ribbing I get for having a bastardized replica of an English sports car, that Shelby was smart enough to bastardize into something many people would find appealing, even if it took a few decades. As for the "unfriendly ribbing", can Johnny come out and play?
