Yeah, I'll give you that. A "fixer-upper" type of project. That's respectable and it kinda does zero you in as a gearhead. Especially with the way you talked about your cars.
I live around the Inland Empire, and most of the fellas who do these sorts of things are the type of people who get off on speed. The type of people who get touchy if some people are going faster than they are. They'll ask you what you drive and as soon as you mention the company, they immediately interupt and say that they're faster. They're usually broke and live with their parents because their paychecks are going towards a car part. So you can understand my biases towards that.
While I won't change my perspective on the community, at least I can see it through your eyes and respect it.
