Re: [AMC-List] Apathy

I agree with Frank. What happens to the poor kid who falls in love with that "Studebaker Lark" and can't find one, does a web search, Humm doesn't match the picture, "What car is that? I want one and can't find it"!
  If we don't tell them when they make misstakes, who will? It takes the people that know the cars to point out this things. Somewhere soemone is saying Oh crap we look like idiots to this people. If they aren't and they don't mention the misstake then assume your money is spent better elsewhere.
