TRUTH

We offer this as a reminder that we haven't lost the 'tude:

Hot rod guys - the real ones - are kind of hard edged, don't suffer fools too well, and can identify - and dismiss - the fraud rodders, and pseudo-celebs among us. Remember that when you meet a modern day 'legend'; think back on the meeting and .......if it's 'legend' his own self who has told you all about 'legend', we think you done met more 'bragger' than 'legend'. And if you're the chatty one who repeats everything you hear..........sure nuff the legend will grow. And all that horse shit will become 'fact'.

Oh, Yeah! Now we'z back in the ZONE!
