Meh, he's doing fine. You don't give us enough credit. I think most everyone who responded can understand his situation and recognize and good potential member. He likes his car, goes to meets, and turns wrenches/ stickers. Sure I see a blue ricey looking Mazda but I also see someone who enjoys cars and isn’t afraid to show it off, it’s a work in progress and from one car guy to another I can respect that. What he said makes sense (not that he has to defend his actions) and he seems to roll with the punches so what’s the big deal? He’s got positive rep from a lot of the “Dicks” in the thread in is on his way.
So again welcome mang!
