Internet vs reality

I have no idea what kinda conflict went on to inspire this thread but....here's my take on internet versus reality?

I hate doing things twice, it's better to learn from someone else's mistake.

Whether it be bad or good, the internet is a resource for advice and information.

Mopar experts are rare, most commercial businesses will say chev, ford and mopar are all "pretty similar" which is pretty much BS if you ask me!

I'm 26 and I live in Australia. I don't have 30 years of mechanical repair/fabrication experience to back me up. I am proud of the knowledge I have and proud of the work I've done with that knowledge. I am ALWAYS looking to learn more and become more skilled and gain more knowledge.

The more I learn now, the more I can teach later.

you're always going to get people who will say "you can't do this" or "you have to do that", it's not JUST the internet.

sometimes it's fun to discover that a "fact" that's been repeated over and over a million times by everyone "in the know" is actually not a fact at all.

Over here, the internet is a great way to shop. Buying parts locally is usually about 1.5x the price of buying from someone like summit racing (and that's after shipping)

I like keeping up to date on other people's projects, seeing photos/videos of someone's car take shape from the other side of the world is an amazing thing.

So the internet has a few people who wanna try to "run with the big boys" and stake their claim as an authority on all things "horsepower", Is that any different to reality?

If I'm not mistaken, back in the day (before my time) anyone who thought they had the baddest car, had all the know-how and couldn't be beaten was said to be "choking their chicken"
