Tom , my youngest son took my rs-ss camaro conv't with 41 opts to home coming in 1991 I was more afraid of him driving around town than i have ever been on a race track. The thing about a race track is the car is teched and checked of safety which i don't know about the idiot on the street. Give me the track any day compared to the street.

I'm one of the new kids on the block when it comes to this forum, but I've kinda been hanging around because it seems no matter how a topic keeps going around in circles , mostly everyone seems to find a common center..---Very REFRESHING. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Kim, That is the parent in you. We can protect our kids from a lot of things, but not idiot/drunk drivers. Just yesterday I visited with the mother/sister of the 18 girl who lost her life due to a drunk driver (BAC was over .300). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

It's always good to hear other perspectives and opinions on certain subjects.

JoeG;
Even with 6+ pages of sometimes heated dialogue, everyone agrees that the Douglass cars are a very cool part of the SuperCar hobby, and have a lot of mystique about them. I believe we all respect each other's opinions, it may not always appear that way in a given thread but in reality we do.

To me, it does not matter. I will fix what is damaged and go on. I own these cars to have fun, not the $$$. If it were about the $$$, I would sell out today.

I compare it to investing in the stock market. If you can not afford to loose, best not play. As valuable as the cars are today, a change in trends, a uprising in the Middle East (no oil), whatever, could change our hobby and the value of the cars in a heart beat. The cars could depreciate just as fast, or faster, as they appreciated.

The supercar hobby is what I do for fun, my hobby. As long as it is fun, I will continue doing it, if not, I will move on to something else.
