Just blowing a little steam. Don't tell me what a great guy Joel is. Like I said, he may be a great guy. And I am sure his verification process is well worth it to many guys. I don't doubt that. I also realize there may be much more work involved than I am assuming.

I wish I could afford that 57 Chevy TODAY
As far as Joel goes..I'm sure he is a real nice guy to those who he invites into his closed circle.. and there is no doubt that he knows what he's doing when it comes to modifying and super tuning Super Cars.. But I'm sure to him it always was and still is a "business" and all about the money.. Don't you think if he looked at it as being about the cars, Hobby and People he'd be A LOT more involved than we've seen? It's a Business to Joel.. He IS Motion Performance. and it's HIS line to set in where he is at in this. And as long as his old cars are bringing monster bucks I don't see him being in this to make friends. Alot of us wish that would change because we'd love to hear Joels stories and have his imput these days but because the world that exists today has labled him as a "commodity ".. he's in it for the business/money.. I know I'd get pissed off if I just set back and watched a bunch of someone elses profit from something that I had created...
You know I'm sure Joel is a great guy and I would love to meet and talk to him and have him as a friend, but he is twice my age and I don't have the money it takes to buy one of his cars and I'm sure he's not interested in getting to know just some guy who "would love to have" one of his cars.. I'm sure he feels like he's on the other side of the fence from the rest of us. I wish it wasn't that way. But the way people are so hungry to scavenge anything they can off the Baldwin/Motion name today... it's just gonna keep Joel on that other side of the fence from us.
