Just found this on reddit and it made me laugh a little:

You need to understand that on the web, only the most extreme, expensive, and hardcore opinions get attention. The people who spout them are the loudest, the most repetitive, and usually the kind of people who spend all their time posting on web forums. Nothing but the most expensive, or the oldest, or the rarest, or the biggest pain in the *** will possibly do, and if you aren't doing it that way, you don't know what you're talking about and you aren't really trying. Over time, these people develop a lot of influence over web communities, and as a result opinions get pushed farther and farther to the extremes.

I've seen kids repeatedly **** up great motorcycles trying to add some part or tweak something because some ******* in Bumfuck told them the should. Seen kids sell great guns and buy some stupid, nearly-unusable foreign ******** because if you aren't using this weird-*** caliber, you just aren't serious. Seen people quit photography altogether because if you aren't carrying $10K in gear around your neck, and another $10K in the bag you never use, then you might as well give it up.

It's all ********, it's all stupid, and it's all frustrating as hell to watch.

I spent my Father's Day morning helping a friend of mine shuttle some of his cars to a Father's Day event at my church. I drove the '67 Corvette 427 Stingray over to the event and then switched with another guy and he drove the 'Vette back and I drove the '66 Mustang Shelby GT 350 back from the event. It is SOOOOOO different driving those cars over the Z! The technology then was great for the time, but the steering was "relaxed", the brakes were a handful, the gearing was such that they would rev at about 4k at 60 mph. I loved the experiences of driving each of those cars though...

I included some modern stuff that we took over there as well. His 2006 Aston Martin Vantage and his 2013 458 Spider. I have driven the Aston and it is an awesome GT car. The 458 is still on the list to go for a ride in soon. I doubt I will ever drive that one.

Completely off topic and falling within the realm of totally useless information related to the all powerful OZ. Patricia mentioned something to me after the past MD meet about how the after market Z emblem some folks are rocking looks just like the OZ symbol from the original L. Frank Baum series of books.

I had to go check and sure enough they are very similar. Specifically, when you look at many of the illustrations that accompanied the series of books, particularly, "Ozma of OZ" and others, you'll see the familiar to us Z symbol.

Here is the front emblem:


Here are the L. Frank Baum OZ book illustrations:
