Rumors really hurt people.

  Yep, every Mopar town has one...A guy who thinks everybody else's car is a piece of crap, but every Mopar he owns is a high dollar gold plated rare vintage Mopar, etc. etc. bla bla bla...bla.

I know the type. We have a laywer around here who has entirely to much $$$. When the big mopar boom hit a while back he was quick drop 150k on a '70 cuda and knows nothing about the car. He would rather talk about how much this and that costs than to even think about talking to me about my duster or charger project. Thats okay because I can fix my rides if something were to break, which is more than I can say for mr lawyer guy who would rather not get his hands dirty...oh well..

Our local version knows all the latest auction results and has a retirement hobby of paying other people to build clones for him which he then sells.  He doesn't make much at it and he sure can't talk about anything to do with cars other than the money part but he seems to keep himself amused.

My feeling is, If a person has earned the financial ability in life to afford to buy a big money car without getting their hands dirty -  that's great!  My Beef comes in  - -  when he doesn't realize he's nothing more than a waxer and polisher, and can't keep whatever negative remarks about other peoples cars to himself! 

Thankfully, most of the guys who can afford to buy a "done car", have pretty much already learned this little "life lesson" somewhere along the way to making his/her fortune.... and are usually pretty humble and nice to others (in my experience).   Its the other people who can't afford to buy anything nice that seem to throw stones. 

as a side note....we need to keep the big money investment people interested in our hobby - and buying cars!  Without the "martini and caviar crowd",  some of our investments could have declined significantly more.

Amen! There's alot of people out there who are quick to down someone else's pride if they cant have it or build it themselves. 

PS- That cat looks HUGE....

Well I can do without the " Martini and Caviar " crowd . I didn't buy my car for an investment . I owned Mopars since I was a kid in the late 70's when it wasn't cool . Those kind of people drove the Chevys .

You own a car most other people would love to have but never will, like mentioned they are jealous.
Blow em off they are ignorant, get thicker skin and enjoy your ride.

i didint read any other relys but i find it funny that someone would say that....    my cars arent perfect the bosdy or paint however they are goodenough for me.   the thing i find funny is, i see all the flaws in my cars when its in the shop, when they are outside they look better,  they sunlight hides alot of stuff.  i thinkk  the dude is full of crap.   very nice car by the way.
