may grab some food… likely won’t park in the show field though.
I’m heading there straight from work
I feel that alot of you are going just for “some action” and feel you will all be disappointed. I hope I’m wrong!
I’ll be there for a bit.
Doubt anythings gonna happen lol, but I like duffs and it’s gorgeous out
PICS GOOD TIMES :tup:
LOOK AT THIS SEXY CAR
OMG LOOK AT THOSE TIRES
HOW DID HE DO THAT
MAYBE IF I TOUCH IT I CAN FIND OUT
[RANT]Last night I was in attendance at Duff’s for the first time in probably 3 years. It was a great show with a lot of great cars. There was a lot of stuff there that I haven’t seen before, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I spent hours talking to car guys about their rides and ours (the red 1950 Dodge truck). All the guys with vintage/classic cars were great to talk to and shared a lot of info/stories about their vehicles. I’m always happy to talk to an inquisitive person about all my stuff as well. I remember hearing a quote years back - “An old car is a really expensive way of meeting the nicest people in the world.” 99% of the time, I’ve found it to be true.
So this brings me to the real rant. WTF is wrong with 90% of the NYSpeed crowd that was at Duff’s last night? I talked to a few guys I knew from the old UBRF/BTC days and that was cool. I tried introducing myself to SEVERAL crowds of people who I know for a fact are on here. I can’t remember names, but I remember faces. I was snubbed on every occasion. Me-“Hey, are you guys on NYSpeed?” Crowd- “Uh, NO. (with a disgusted look on face while turning back towards me).”
Fuck you. If you don’t want to meet new people or talk about cars, don’t go to a cruise night where there are lots of people who want to talk about cars. Go sit it your parents livingroom and play video games or play with yourself… I’m absolutely appalled at the behavior of these people. Maybe I play by a different set of rules or something, but the way I was treated was just plain rude. I’m not some little asshole kid, I’m coming up on 30, I’m an industrial engineer, I’ve been a professional heavy equipment mechanic for 12 years, I have my own mobile welding service, and I’ve BUILT my vehicles from the ground up. My little finger probably has more mechanical experience/skill than 99% of the people on here. I’m not being a huge arrogant prick, but it’s likely the truth.
Sorry if I don’t own an import, mustang, or F-body. If you don’t like what I drive, that’s your problem. I’m this way on purpose. I have appreciation for any well done vehicle no matter what it is or when it was built. Too bad it doesn’t work the other way. This all makes me very concerned about the future of the car hobby as a whole. Cruise nights and shows are really going to start to suck ass because groups of people refuse to be polite and interact with other groups. I thought this forum was a place where we all share one common interest, motor vehicles. I’m a member of many other forums from old trucks, to diesels to offroad. Whenever I meet anyone from other forums, they’re decent to talk to. As far as I’m concerned, I’m done here. Again, I’m very disappointed with the behavior of the members, go fuck yourself.
I’ve never really been very active here due to limited time and internet access, but don’t plan on seeing me post anymore unless someone has a legitimate technical question/issue. In that case, I’ll be POLITE and offer my expertise to help out another enthusiast with a dilemma, only because I’ve been there too and know what it’s like.
If anyone was following the progress of my '49 Chevy, you can find me on stovebolt.com.[/RANT]:2fingers::2fingers::2fingers:

<<subscribed>>
I’ve seen this before and on the other hand have been welcomed also.
I’ve put it off as old guy hate
You should have ran them over with the Willys…
Creepy old guy
well i was there (with my f-body), and i know i certainly didn’t talk to you… i’m nice and polite to everyone i meet, then i form an opinion if need be… so… i know you said “most”, and ill reiterate, just make sure you are blanketing all of us with that statement
You truly did a terrible job of capturing how nyspeed wronged you here… But yes, this is the same community that harbors nightly meets of people who stand around in parking lots and shit talk each other. Im not surprised here, but you do sound like a baby.
Nah a lot of you don’t understand there was a time where UBRF meets were far less clicky.
Southtowns was around during that time I think everyone who posted so far was not.
:word:
ur always mean to me jerk
