Hal,
I am in total agreement. It seems that car guys can be cool one day and bastards the next...
I fight the urge to challenge them, it seems there is always "one upmanship" going on around us all.
Probably just plain envy or jealousy working itself out to raw comments.
But after all is said and done, isn't it a kick to have a car that you can fire up and lose all the work-week aggravation? I think that is what every car guy wants.
