rustbucket,
I hear you on that one. I've almost stopped going to the Samba forums as there is nothing but bad mouthing and dumb comments.
This site is 100x more informative and the users are much friendlier. Someone will actually answer your question without giving you an opinion or attitude.
As for the car, it's obvious he put a ton of time and effort into it, and if it's what he wants, cool for him and screw everyone else. I can appreciate someone else's ride even if it's not what I would do.
Cheers,
Doug
