One thing I have noticed is sometimes people post an answer in language that could be taken "snottily" but in one particular case I know that person and that is just how they talk, even when they are being nice. It's one of the problems with non-verbal communication. Many folks who post here have an enormous wealth of knowledge about the Model A-and this advice is pretty much free for the asking!! What a deal!! Another thing about old cars of any make, people form opinions on things like what oil to use, whitewalls, stone guards, thickness of pin stripe, etc.etc and will defend their position to the death, facts be damned. It's called old-fashioned hard-headedness. A lot of old-time Model A'ers remind me of the old Chiefs in the Navy I worked for. Meanest old bas**rds you will ever find, but once you get to know them they are your friend for life. You just have to take some comments with a grain of salt. For the most part, this forum is one of the most civilized on the Internet, bar none, except when the discussion turns political. And who wants to talk politics when there is Model A stuff to discuss?
