Amen. Well said.
Got to admit that I don't like the car either but life is way to short to
spend it nitpicking others and criticizing them.
Got a good friend who hot rodded it and made a beautiful 40 Dodge
Convertible and is doing the same to a 32 or so Dodge convert also. Both
tired cars to start with but I'm actually proud that he cares enough of old
Mopars to bring them back in modified form even. Not many in this part of
the world car enough to even do that!
