Guys, I think a lot of you take these postings too seriously. The whole purpose is to express opinions and to sometimes discuss things that are a bit controversial. And I think that's what we're doing here.

I harbor no bad feelings towards anybody in Club Cobra, regardless of what they posted, and have yet to make a post that I regretted. Bandit and I have had these type of conversations before (and in fact, so have REAL 1 and I, it's just this time, we're on the same side), and usually we just end up agreeing to disagree. That's what these forums are all about. Heck, haven't you guys ever had a fist fight with one of your best buddies, then immediately afterwards went out for a beer and a laugh??? So I owe Bandit a 12-pack...

My one big forum rule is that I never post anything that I wouldn't say in person to someone's face. I've had these same type of conversations before with car club members sitting around a table at Applebee's, and it's all good.

Gotta go now. The Mid America Cobra Club meeting starts in just a little while, and I'm hosting it. Time to pick this place up!
