 Horses having blinders on are easier to direct. It's all about horsepower in a motoring thread... Everything else: only fake news

I sympathize with you all, it can be frustrating to say the least. I can only get somewhat close to your situation. Back in '00 I built a 1940 Willys Coupe gasser. It was a fiberglass body, as I could not afford to start out with a steel body. Steel "starter" Willys coupe bodies were hovering in the $30k+ range, if you could find one. I bought an Outlaw Performance body package, but it was far from a "KIT". But I will admit it was not a true Willys...  When I would go to shows or stop for gas, the same thing happened, what is it and how old etc. I won't go on, you guys know the routine already. But at one show after being asked many times, one guy with his family came by and asked if it was a KIT car. I said, "Yes, this kit was the special snap together, no glue required kit. I snapped it together last night just for this show". He was not impressed with my answer. Sometimes you just have to lead them on and on and on...

Yes Dan, the "replica" guy and I went round and round until I just stopped talking. My breathing permit has an expiration date. I got tired of wasting time on him.

Kool Aid Ken,
I also tell them all the above and add if not for Pete Larson building the Liberty Ace we most likely would not be enjoying these!
Then I explain if it wasn't for Brexit I most likely would not have been able to buy it at least this soon. I also always use the opportunity to thank President Trump for his Pro energy policies allowing me to fill this tank with expensive high test gas at this low cost! I also remind them and many of my hot rod friends how the liberals and their climate change nonsense want to regulate these old cars and new ones like the M3W out of existence! ( isnt that the delay of M3W going into the EU now? ) And always encourage them to remember all this in the upcoming elections.
A final thought. As we cruised around eastern Ohio this Memorial Day weekend we were thrilled to see all the beautiful patriotic displays as we have never seen like this before. We also crossed several large double pipe lines crossing the state. We spoke to a oil worker who told us right after President Trumps inauguration 20 large drilling units were already heading back to just one Ohio county! This is all in an area that desperately needs jobs!! And do I mention the Keystone pipeline....remember this every time you fill up your M3W!!
Oh Sportster I keep forgetting to thank all the Badgers of Wisconsin for voting for President Trump!
Every mile is a smile!!
High Noon My Dear Fellow Citizen High Noon, I can't let your note go unanswered. As we all are well aware, our country is deeply divided. I personally am an independent with democratic leanings. I will vote for an occasional Republican president if I respect that person more than another. I do respect Republican Senators John Kasich and John McCain. I may not agree with all of their policies but do regard them as honest, ethical, and capable men. I do not regard Donald Trump as honest, ethical, or capable. A significant danger to this country is he doesn't know what he doesn't know. Think about that one. You mentioned patriotism. I have no doubt you believe in our constitution. If you really care then you will start getting your news information from multiple sources and open your eyes and see that the very core of our constitution and democracy are being threatened. This far outweighs ones allegiance to any Democratic or Republican philosophy. Regarding climate change. Science matters. You drive around in your beautiful hot rod because of science. Denying human induced climate change is either ignorance or an adherence to ones selfish wants that are placed before the needs of the many. I would like to remind you the M3W is not a gas guzzler. Attaching names to a group of people such as " liberals ", and you imply a derogatory connotation, is destructive and not inclusive. I wonder what other names you have for other groups of people. Hmmm? Unfortunately, there are uninformed people in Wisconsin as well.

Sportster... you have nothing to apologize for. If everybody looks back through the thread, it's pretty obvious who the newbie is who hijacked the thread. You, like I and a few others, chose not to ignore it.
