You know all malice aside what is it? Is it that I like research? Is it that I’m thorough? I know I have repeated questions before and I have REPEATEDLY apologized. I like input. I like cars and I like people to like my car. I don’t want a cookie cutter car and believe me the car will be personalized to me but at the same time I don’t want people coming up and looking at a car show and saying WTF when they walk off. Everyone has an opinion, Wilwood vs Dynalite, Moser VS Strange etc. I have spent a LOT of money and I don’t want to buy a name because of the best advertising, I genuinely care about return on dollar, if I ask about brake pads and someone says hell no I slid thru a stop sign, that’s information I wanna know. I’m not trying to bother or aggravate. I am trying now to decide what color to paint the car since the blue interior is out but I am overwhelmed honestly by my options. Dare I ask for pictures???? I don’t know if I should. This is all supposed to be fun. Y’all can say what you want but when my cars done you might not like it’s appearance but you won’t be able to say I cheaped out!

First, apologizing for something is pointless if you're going to do the exact same thing
later. Second, apologies aren't sincere when you're copping an attitude.

You like to research things, so why are you listening to some employee at a generic tire
franchise? I honestly can't even begin to imagine how frustrated you'd be if the fender
contacted the tire. Just because something "works" in a driveway, doesn't mean it works
out on the road.

They measured with their little tire device. I trust them. By the time the cars on the road they will be out of date anyway and all I really needed was rollers because when I bought it one of the wheels was bent, the tires were dry rotted and it’s not that big of a deal. I get mad because I get tired of constantly being told I am cutting corners. Wilwood is not cutting corners, Moser is not cutting corners, Borgeson is not cutting corners. I have NEVER personally attacked anyone in any of these posts or even called out anyone in the clubhouse. The level of vitriol that sometime gets spewed, and not just on my posts, is insane. Someone commented on my TBI. It makes me forgetful, not stupid.

I got bounced from a different car site for 3 posts that were similar to each other. The old panel beaters in there got tired of me quick. I thought "man, 64speed wouldn't last 30 seconds in there".....

All I wanted out of this was real world input on the best box not the best bang for your buck box, the best box period. I got it from good people who had experience and I now have the Borgeson. Case closed
