I'm just glad that I'm going on 62 and have left that ***hole stage behind. I'm mister mellow now (just ask me)
sorry, forgot the caps were on. my apologies.THANKS FOR SHOUTING, SCAMPMAN.
Its all good. This is the happy go lucky website, not Moparchat.sorry, forgot the caps were on. my apologies.
Wrong. I said "I" have friends with B/E bodies and they ("they" being my friends) aren't stuck up at all. Read what is written, not what you want to read. I have no complex at all with any mopar, and I agree that the 360 is a better choice over a 318 given they are both the same condition and close in price. Shoot, I'd even pay more to get the 360.Too much contradiction in your post, you say B/E body folks don't have attitudes....then go and say A body guys have the same attitude B/E body guys have.....you like to soap box a lot, I see this often in your posts, you have a slight complex with 318 vs 360/340.its okay though....no one is trying to judge you.
in regards to the issue you brought up....I don't care what cid motor anyone has, they are all cool mopar mills imo.... but when someone asks me to build for them, I only care to give them the best bang for their buck, period, and if more cubes cost the same and give the result the customer is looking for....that's what I'm doing.

It is not I that soap boxes anything. But there is a "snub" here that is written in a lot of threads about the "cockyness" of E/B body owners. Some is true, but it certainly doesn't speak for all of them. And I was just pointing out that A body owners can get just as "snippy". And I can find dozens of post right here on this site to back up what I said.
By the way, from what I read in your story, the guy revved his pipes a couple of times and wasn't up for a big conversation. Rude? yes. But does revving his pipes a couple of times and not really interested in chat'n with you (after you chased him down) warrent him being cussed out and his car getting smashed? Wow! Maybe he is in a low point in his life, but who cares... right?
Oh don't fret guy, the old buzzard had a fresh sliver paint job, probably over rust holes everywhere being its home is next to the pacific ocean.I don't find it funny that his car got hit !
I think it's a bummer no matter if he is an asshole or not !
I don't wish that on him or his car !
I don't like d-bags like him anymore then the next guy , but would rather have him step in a pile , or have a bird drop one on him then seeing his car get wrecked !
I own a B body, does that make me an asshole???
I raced one of the very well built b body mopars for 14 yrs., and had 4-5 more over the yrs. I now own an A body, that being said , the b bodies were more well built than the A bodies. which one do I like best? A body of course !Truthfully I was attracted to Mopars as a kid because they are the best looking cars ever built. They also had a certain mystique because they were different. The mystique has definitely worn off though. It's been the same thing for almost 50yrs,(purple cams and Mopar finned valve covers) don't excite me anymore.
On a "Mopar guy" note... things have really changed. In the 70's-80's Mopar guys spun wrenches and scoured swap meets. Since the 90's Mopar guys have been complete total assholes! Apparently all it takes now is a fat check book and a desire to thumb your nose at other car guys. Amazing how budget blue collar cars have attracted every asshole just because they're rare.
I think the exception might be abodies though. Everybody I've met on this site has been pretty cool. It won't be long though, the assholes of the world that can't afford a Charger or Roadrunner are quickly telling stories about the Swinger they had in highschool.
Some folks may not like this, but it's not that A bodies have less quality. It's the cars built around 67 A bodies, and 68 B Bodies. I have a 64 Sport Fury, and owned a 69 Coronet 500. The quality was way down from the 64. First thing you notice is the later doors sound like a tuna can when you shut them. My 69 340 swinger is the same. That doesn't mean I don't like them, cause I do. It's just my 64 just overall feels much more solid.I raced one of the very well built b body mopars for 14 yrs., and had 4-5 more over the yrs.

This is because we've heard all that bullshit before, and just don't have the patience for it anymore. And yes, I'm probably an asshole.There's a__ holes at every age. It's just the older they get the grumpier they get.
