Wow...this has been an interesting thread.....I read till about page 8 then skipped to page 11.....too much to read but I will say this....I am obviously a noob on here but I am not some punk kid and have been playing with cars and trucks for many years. I have been on a handful of forums over the years as well but really do not have a whole lot of time to spend on the forums...wife, 3 young kids and 2 projects.....plus work and church...I stay BUSY!! Anyway.....my perception of Import Atlanta up to the reading of this thread was that it was almost intolerable. It seems as if there is more a trend to bash than to welcome....like IA members would rather not have new people join.......BUT........like I said, that was how I felt before reading this thread. From a noobs point of view, it is easy to feel this way and see it as a pretty rough place. I though have been taking the mature patient road ..... just kinda ride the boat and see where it goes.... I have not tried to speak up or pitch a fit as I do see A LOT of good on IA. Understanding that QD is more or less joking or rather not being super serious even changes my perception of him......as......anyone new on here could easily have a negative perception based on his posts. I hope I am making sense...because reading back through this....I almost confuse myself, LOL. Anyway, IA just brightened up for me in a big way and so has my perception of QD who I now actually hope to meet one day. In the long run....I almost think this thread should be a sticky for noobs ( like me ) to have to read all the way through.....it will prepare someone for what is to come and will help people "understand" what is going on around here....that its not as it appears at first and that it just might take a while to get into the rhythm of things.
