There's a difference between muscle cars and imports. The younger folks of today aren't painting their hoods black to emulate the olden days. They are doing it to make people think it's CF.
That's a pretty unfair and inane request. You're basically saying for everyone to like everyone else's car no matter how they doll it up. Just because people are in the same "hobby," doesn't mean they have to like other people's ideas. And why do people (for the most part) mod their car and post it up or take it to meets? So people can see them and get feedback. Just makes sense to me. Later, QD.
