No doubt, this will be me, one day. if we ever get our car(s) together. Three things are driving me in the direction of doing the majority of the work this time. One, I'm a cheap bas%&#d, two is poverty and three, having been out of this for so long, I flat don't know anyone, anymore that I trust!
I'm gonna be upfront, neither my bracket car or my stocker will be show cars, no pretense at all. I am going to make the best effort I can to insure that they will be safe, sound and as nice as I can make them. Likely, they'll both look more like the cars of old, that weren't always as nice as we wish they were.
If someone wants to look down their nose at me. That's fine, I'm an old man now, I've come to be comfortable in my own skin. Trust me, I won't have a problem pulling up to that line next to ANYONE. At my age, if I put you back on the trailer, that'll be good enough for me. If I lose, ahh, come on by the trailer, there's bound to be a cold drink to share and I can BS with the best of them.
