it's been interesting to follow this thread, it's gone in an interesting direction. I for one agree 100% that you should be kind to strangers and engage folks who are interested, it's a great way to promote the hobby and I for one love talking about these cars with others
I also believe in answering in kind, for example if someone is genuinely interested and polite I have given a reasonable range of what it would cost to build a similar car. For those who come across as nosy or disingenuous "so what did you pay for that", I've sad "way too much". these folks are the same ones who ask you how much you make at a dinner party after meeting you only 5 minutes earlier.

I was asked that question a couple of times. I aways told them the same thing.
"To me, its priceless".

You know AL people like you should not be in these forums, with some many nice people here you have to tarnish it with insults. You just sound like the idiot who asks how much I paid---This is in fact a very rude question and no one's business, so to one rude idiot a rude answer. I will not lower myself to your level...I got better things to do.:mad:

If Al had an FE in his car, instead of that POS SB, then he'd probably be a happy ray of sunshine, like me.:) |

Gentlemen:
I agree wholeheartedly that we should be kind to one another and portray our sport in the best way we can. That said there are many people who frown upon the sport in many ways and you can read between the lines the sarcasm of the question as to how much I paid.
Accordingly, I tone my answer depending the person and the tone is said. The coments I said above normally are tongue in cheek type.
Al thinks I am a jackass and a prick, that is his opinion. I am not in these forums to get involved with these pissy arguments which are not going anywhere. In the future I will stick to COBRA relaterd issues and not trivialities such as the price of my car.
If someone was offended, no offense was intended, itr was intended as light conversation.
Good night to all.

When they ask I just say $55 thousand and smile. I might also say something like I didn't want to spend the $500k+ for an original.....

You can't insult a Buddhist, because they're supposed to show loving-kindness to all, even those humans who do not deserve it. You know, like Patrick. :LOL: |
