Why spend the money to attend an event when you stare at your phone constantly?

John....you ain't old and stupid, it's just that you, Rob, myself, and many, many others our age grew up in the time that wasn't infected by modern electronics. We grew up talking to each other face to face, eye to eye, and extending a hand to shake with a new friend. I've always enjoyed going to things like Drag Week, The Mopar Nationals, etc, to see the cars with my own 2 eyes (now 4, lol) and even more so to meet the people that shared my interest in them. I cannot even begin to tell you the things that I learned about Mopars, and work techniques along the way. I've met tons of interesting people in this hobby, you and your Dad among them. While I do appreciate my cell phone, it means no more to me than my favorite ratchet! It's just a tool that I use only when needed or am forced to when it rings....lol. The best that we can do is to try and still enjoy life the way we all learned, and deal with the pricks like the one Rob encountered if/when we have to. :)
