Default I apologize.....

.....to the folks in the NCRS.

I've been rude to members of this group. I've always thought they were nitpicky old guys that knew more about my car than I did. I was wrong. There's no need to go into specifics but suffice it to say, I'm the dumb-***. If I could ever know as much as those guys have forgotten, I'd be a freakin' wizard.

Mike Ward's comment to the OP who 'bared his soul' to worthy members of the NCRS is absolute proof of his self-centered, callous attitude toward anyone he doesn't agree with. He can't even accept a sincere apology without a snide retort!

P.S. You worry about me way too much, Mike. You should be much more worried about yourself....

Choose your words carefully. Did they know more about your car than you did or not?

Wo... As I can say Mr. Ward has been very kind in his advice to me, back when I was a newbie even more than I am now, I'd have to say that sarcasm is an art and the man may have just been trying to be funnyish, but since I'm not a moderator, maybe I should keep my nose out of it... and just agree with the comment to the OP that it sounds like a good story... I'm always up for a good story and a good bit of eduaction.

I am just having a little fun, nothing personal, the Mikes do have a vast knowledge of the early corvettes.

Wow- just like clockwork. It's the guy from TN with the blue car. I won the bet again, so far I'm batting a thousand.

While we're telling others how to behave, stop taking yourself and everything so seriously. As usual, you're the only one that didn't notice the smiley or see the obvious humour. Isn't it painful having your briefs wadded up so tight all the time?
