Matt,
That was a no-brainer! LOL I really wasn't offended by the talk because I deal with that attitude all the time.

Yes the talk is bad, but what I was posting was the sad turn of events for the owners of the car. As stated early the adolescenes have a tough gansta attitude that spoils the love for cars. They think words are more potent than motor.

But beware of the quiet kid in the back of the classroom.

Believe it or not, The JUDGE around here thinks we should take that kind of language directed at us as "part of the job!" Apparantly that isn't disorderly conduct. But if they say that to somebody else, well then that's a different story. Go figure. Yes I think the whole story is sad. Stupid things people do before really thinking about the consequences!

Ron:

I seriously doubt that the "judge" would find it "part of the job" if someone directed that language at him...sounds like a double standard to me. It all leads back to respect, or lach there of, which seems to be a growing problem of today's youth (at 27, I'm not very far removed from my youth, so I have seen it!).

Unfortunately, this import thing is here to stay. The "ricer" shows have pretty much taken over TNN's auto-related shows, which is just one of many reasons that we barely watch that poor excuse for a channel any more.

Now, something positive. As a parent and a muscle car guy, I have been curious if my 2 boys would follow in my foot steps and be interested in muscle cars, big cubes, and performance, or only care about neon lights, the amount of bass, or the size of his wing. Well, I felt a little better about this when I left for work this morning, as my 3 year old was cruising around the feature car pages on this site! He woke up this morning, wanted to look at "race cars" as he called them, I showed him the main feature car page, and he took it from there. He wasn't just checking out that one page, but clicking out each month's page, then backing up, and checking another! He could probably teach his grandfather a few things about navigating the web[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!

Rob;
That is good news indeed! My 17month old Benjamin now has a 3 word vocab; Daddy, Banana, and CAR!! Don't ask why he doesn't say Mommy yet [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
