Pcoghlan: In light of your post count I would venture to guess you weren't around here for the past 9 to 10 years.
This place was "different" in the old days. Kinda like the wild west.
Based on my experience here over the many years, its sure seems mellower here now. Thats a good thing. There was a... shall we say... certain level of hositlity here in the past toward CSX Continuation Cobras in particular and any of their owners who dared to defend their Continuatoin series cars (moi in particular) which grew worse in the days of the SAI vs. FFR/SPF wars. Believe me. I was there and have the battle scars to prove it!!!
I do believe the increase in Shelby owners has had an impact here based on my experience and comparison between "then" and "now". There appears to be a correlation anyway.
You are correct there are good and bad owners of all makes.
