amen to what Doug said I have always said PIE in the Sky was real Stupid after 
all there is an ass for every seat

It blows my mind that anyone would be angry about how much someone was  asking 
for a car. I just don't relate to that. The listed sales price  has absolutely 
no relationship to the REAL value of the vehicle, it only  shows what the value 
is to the current owner. If the modified Nash is  worth $50grand to him and he's 

bold enough to admit it in public, why  should that piss anyone off? Even if it 
is only worth half of that, I  just don't understand the outrage. I've had my 
modified 1973 4-door  Matador for sale for $3500 on and off over the years. If I 

lowered it to  half the price, I probably could sell it by the middle of the 
summer.  Does that mean at $3500 that I'm a pie-in-the-sky thinker who cares  
nothing about the general outrage amongst the car shopping public? Nope!  It 
only means that it's worth $3500 to me, and for anything less, I'm  probably 
just going to keep it.

The other thing I don't  understand is outrage over how someone else spent their 

own money. Or  specifically that someone ruined their own car. Outrage I hear 
quite  often is over a subsequent owner of a car ruining what the previous  
owner had so lovingly preserved or created. If I do sell my Matador at  either 
the asking price or half-price, and the buyer was secretly  planning to enter it 

into a demolition derby after he bought it, what  business is that of mine? I 
sure wouldn't want to give him (or her) any  say over what I do with the money 
they gave me so why should I think I  have any say over the car I gave to them?

Freedom means that  everyone who owns a car would feel perfectly free to cut, 
modify, burn,  paint, hot rod, accessorize, lift, lower, race, shave, chop, 
channel,  tune, chip, hack, and in any and every other way imaginable, 
personalize  their own car regardless of how pristine, rare,scarce,uncommon,  
extraordinary, preserved, stock, or in any other way desirable it was  when they 

bought it.

Anything less is un-American.
