Default Re: people answering questions

I'm 61 and have been in the old car hobby since I was 10 years old. My main interest is in Pre WWII cars and motorcycles. There are "Old Car People" and Model A People. The fact that there is so much detailed info on A's vs. other cars has created far more "EXPERTS" than any other automobile. This has created a hobby within the hobby, a "Them" against us lookin in from the outside. Be careful how you post questions, and the dregree of "Restoration" finish you plan to to take your vehicle to. Behind closed doors judged, inclosed trailer transported "Show Car", or a drive it on Sunday family fun car. I've never felt welcome in the MAFCA, or MARC, but do know some normal people that are in it. It's a hobby, not a religion. Bob
