Hi all, A tip of the hat and real big "Montana Howdy!" to my buddy the Pizza Man (Owner of Chicago Pizza). I have communicated with this group for several years now and have seen this type of back-lash many times from members. I hate to say it but I myself have received this by making a simple statement and catching flack from all over the net. It seems that we as people have many different colors, personalities and genders. This is why Detroit make so many different options and styles of a new production line a year. In short we are all different, like our Imperials are all different. We like different things in life. I don't believe that we all live in Stepford or have Stepford wives or cars (I know stupid comparison). I want my car different. I want it to stand out. It is not wrong to do this in my eyes. I do not think it should be wrong to do this in others eyes. We have a term in this state for people of no variance, "Redneck". The term has nothing to do with cowboys but does seem to have something to do with cars.
