Where Is GRANDSPORT ?
 

Gary is MIA ,what is going on .I miss him here .:ntwrthy:

Probably counting all the lumps of coal he got for Xmas. :)

He PM me last weekend. I see him on here a few times a week.

I'm still a lurker.Dean and his cronies at Team Chevelle have finally got what they wanted and ran me out of town.That is fine because most of the good of boys did not like a little humor injected into their site.Said it before and I'll say it again it is do as I say not as I do over there.The moderators are terrible over there,just waiting for someone to exercise their powers on.Most of my friends over there are gone as well.It will become a site run by the elites and only the elite membership will be able to voice opinions unopposed .Sorry I sort of disappeared from my friends here,but I just lost interest in participating on any forums and basically have been turned off on Chevelles period.Ray sorry I missed your birthday hope you had a good one and Nancy I will mail you a check over the weekend.Best wishes to all my friends here for a happy new year!

I don't think Chevelle's are the problem. I know in our area clubs are hurting because of the so called elite members, it's no longer about cars anymore. Know the feelings you talking about.

I left that site years ago for the same reasons. To "high school" for me over there.

I remember not to long ago laughing out loud for hours.Not so anymore.

A saying I always remember when I get mad at someone, and try to live by.

"He who angers you, Wins"

Those arrogant people can have the win!

Welcome back Gary ,and Ric ,I like that saying .

Thanks Flash, it took me 50 years and a heart attack to fiqure out and I truly do think about that saying every time I start getting pissed at someone.

I have to say that I have missed Garys humor around here lately. So don't disappear like that again ! Cause I said so !! :)

After reading this I have to totally agree with your statement. I thought about all the things I have seen and in the past year at car shows and on the web. It is hard watching the "good ole boys" running the shows and the same people being recognized, and some people being shunned. I have been to shows where some beautiful cars being looked over because the "good ole boys" are not accepting of change. We all know the expense of owning one, or for some of you, many, classics. And because of this, most of the owners are getting older. Take me, I have owned my Malibu for almost 15 years, and it took me over 10 years of owning it before I was really able to start and do some major work to my car. So as we get older we are more able to afford these classics.

So why is is hard for so many to accept new ideas and change ? I know that there are many cars out there that are all original, but they are getting fewer and fewer as the parts break and people want a bigger motor, a better transmission, a bigger rear end, or just even to upgrade the radio.

We are never going to be able to change the mind of those who don't want to see or accept anything other than an all original car. What we have strived to do here is to appreciate everyone's opinion. And most of all, appreciate that we all have a passion for our cars, no matter what it is.

Sorry for my rant... Gary, I really do miss ya.

Well said Nancy

The older I get the more I realize I don't have the time or energy to waste on being pissed off at someone.

That is why I eliminated the problem.
