Perhaps you should have just said " nice car" And moved on. Would you walk up to a stranger on the street and criticize his clothes? I hope not. I recently received my car back from paint and couldn't wait to post up a pic or two. Of course one of the first responses was " btw that's a Buick sticker on the air cleaner" of course yes I know that because many a know it all has pointed it out in the past and it was on a lid keeping the dust out of the carb. How about saying "nice paint" or just moving on? Know it all's ruin every good thing

I've been in cases where I'm talking to somebody about my 71 and how it went from an empty shell to being on the road in less than a year, and they'll say something like "You need to fix that door gap", or "why didnt you paint it yet".

Who does that?

For once and for all lets get one thing straight I Didn't CRITICIZE the car or point out anything other than the incorrect vin that is easily seen if looking at windshield. I more than once told the man what a great car and he was in no way upset with me. I asked very few questions and they were only on any know history. I try not to get personal but there seems to be a bunch of morons on this thread that are writing their own story as to what happened. None of you guys know me and your assumptions are so far out in left field it is ridiculous . I go to very few shows or cruisins and when I see a car of interest the questions pertain to know history of vehicle. I consider my knowledge of cars below average so I don't get into it. I hope I kept it simple so you guys can comprehend what I wrote. That being said this will be my last post on this topic.
