Default When did our site become a jackass magnet?

I don't know about the rest of you, but man I'm tired of the bozos that come to our cherished site looking for information directly from the horses' mouths and then berate the horses... Some serious dumbasses seem to be lurking out there at the moment.

Too make matters worse poor LV is taking on Motown's enforcer role!! Steve you growing a pony tail??

I kinda liked the explanation that they were trying to justify or enhance some old rag of a car that they had found somewhere. Ego's are a fragle thing and I think they just need to pump up their's by useing or should I say abusing these forums. Of course those in the know on here doen't cut them any slack either. They do get a quick education here and that is not all bad.

LOL... NO pony tail here, but I agree with you Jeff. This site is a perpetual fountain of information, and I just hate to see distinguished board members take hits from newbies with an attitude.

[Well...maybe "distinguished" is a bit too much adjective for the Barr bros, but you know what I mean.] LOL

In the classic car hobby, there are many good people as well as a few bad ones. On the positive side, there are many of us out here that truly appreciate all the help and advice that the more experienced members share with us. In regards to the '68 Camaro thread (as well as a few others lately), not only do they provide entertaining reading, but they have a wealth of information to learn from. Buying a muscle car is not like buying a new car from the local Chevrolet dealer. Personally, I have learned many things to be aware of or look out for when buying a car. For one, E-Bay is certainly buyer beware with all of the scum out there. But just as important, this is a great source to come to when validating or verifying a car. For those of you who have helped us so much and taken a few hits from the idiots, we salute you.

Yeah it's pretty clear that some of these guys rode the short bus back when they were in school. One thing is for sure though.. If you come on here being a dumbass.. you're gonna leave here made to feel like one.
