RE: IML: Negativity on the IML needs to go

["Tom Woodcock" <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I find interesting is this goes on on all the forums. I know on the
Cadillac forums I belong to there is a constant battle on Keep it stock
or go custom. I must say that I am a "keep it stock" person, however, I
have seen some very nice customs. I also find it interesting that we all
like the fully optioned cars. I feel these are custom cars in a way. If
we all liked the same thing we would all be driving white Camry's. I do
think it is great to have a forum where we can see and write about the
cars, whether custom or stock, that we all have put a lot of time, money
and sprit into.

Thanks for the lesson Kenyon!

With shame I must admit that I have posted some negative comment about
the custom car on Ebay.
Its just because these cars are getting so seldom these days that I
wrote with emotion instead of common sense, but I assure you that I
would think twice with regard to my future posts.

Ofcourse we (still..) live in a free world and everyone must be able to
make his own choices when it comes to how to restore a classic car.

Sorry once again if I hurt anybodys feelings, like Kenyon said it was an
emotion driven reply only based on a personal opinion.
And hey, after all it is still a real 1960 Imperial that is on sale now
on Ebay. A car that we as IML members have to love because it was
designed by a genius, namely mr. Virgil Exner !
I hope the car will go to someone that take good care of it and put a
lot of TLC in it!
