Why so many gloom and doomers on this site
I don't give a chit what other people say or worry about. I just keep pluggin forward.....however slowly.
AMEN, brother. I don't really mind people complaining about the cost or availability of car parts. After all, this is a car forum, and we are just a bunch of car guys 'chatting' with each other. We may be a thousand miles apart, but we are chatting about things as though we were in a garage together. If I was in a garage with some of my car buddies, I may easily say something like, "Holy crap, I thought about buying an Air Gap manifold, and the price went up a hundred dollars since I checked a month ago." Then we would all discuss how expensive things have gotten, and how hard they might be to find. We all understand it is temporary. I don't consider that gloom and doom, it's just a bunch of car guys talking. What I do take offense to is when people say mean, rude, nasty and foul things against someone they disagree with. Like if I said, "Holy crap, I thought about buying an Air Gap manifold, and the price went up a hundred dollars since I checked a month ago", and someone came back with, "What do you expect, you dumbass. The government is in the process of......." And then someone else comes back with, "Screw you. It isn't the current president's fault, it was the last guy." And all the sudden the thread is hijacked. In my opinion there is NO place for that on this forum.
