Respect is earned, not given.
Most of the regulars here have done nothing to earn my respect, and act like fools.
I literally have no intent to make friends with people like that.
I respect real car people. Not people that are mechanics because they have nothing better to do.
That gullwing is fucking amazing. I'm super jealous. I haven't worked on too many classic vehicles. Especially foreign. Done a bit of stuff on old American muscle though.
Many of us are "real car people." You are judging us by our response to the shit spewing from your mouth. KoJ builds and races dirt track cars and extreme off road junk. I race standing 1/2 mile, tune EFI, and help people plan and execute builds on GM vehicles. That's just 2 of us. Your statement about respect goes both ways. You have to be willing to tolerate a little hazing when your first thread is about street cred.
