Yes, and to make statements "ABOUT STATEMENTS" about something that YOU also don't have first hand knowledge of, is also JUST as weak or weaker...

..."To make statements on the BM car which you have no first hand knowledge of, is very weak."

So you're telling me that ALL OF YOU, PERSONALLY have "first hand knowledge" about the transaction on the '71 BM car, and you can therefor freely make comment on it when it gets discussed, simply because you've taken one side over the other.

But if I even hint that 69motion had a valid point to be upset, or even use that as an EXAMPLE why I chose NOT to post a VIN, I get then get hammered?

What hypocracy. Throwing up the "oh you don't have first hand knowledge"... like YOU ALL DO??

And excuse me for not saying the "magical" word PLEASE when I said... "I do have the serial number (VIN) (don't ask)".

Man, I'm smart enough (somewhat) to KNOW that soon a request for the VIN would
follow. It DID, in the ninth reply to my post!

Maybe I should have used that "magic" word...
"PLEASE don't ask". Would THAT have prevented someone from asking? Don't think so.
