1912Staver; explosion engines???? I've been in this game a long time but that's a new one on me. Now that's funny, I don't care who you are. LOL..... Is it safe for me to think that explosion engines cover both internal combustion engines & diesel engines? I want to be sure I'm right before I start using that terminology because I can't hardly wait to tell someone tomorrow; "hey Rocky, I'm pretty sure your explosion engine has a problem with the dyflucouse valve." LOL... I learned a new terminology today.

Well you & everyone here gave drew drew good advice far as I'm concerned. I just happened upon the forum today & this was the first conversations that popped up. It put a smile on my face & brought back some good memories.

Yeah Padgett, those dreams when I was young became my toys as I got older & could afford them. My kid's & grandkids know they are going to inherit my toys when I pass on & sometimes it makes me wonder if they are checking on me to make sure I'm okay or are they checking on me to see how close they are to their pick of the car litter. LOL....

I'm sorry Avanti, it wasn't my intention to ruffle anyone's feathers. I just found his statements humorous. It actually reminded me of me when I was a kid. My dad raced professionally & I had 3 older brothers, so I was reading car magazines ever since I learned to read & I've been a car guy long as I can remember in my childhood. It just didn't add up to me as adult comments & I kinda got a kick out of it. His comments reminded me of something I might have said along about the age of 12 or 13. I thought his comments were humorous & intended mine in a like manner. (I.E./ I'm 70 years old & I know I am young & yet without understanding). It wasn't my intention to offend you, him or anyone. We all see life in different ways & I suppose I've always looked at a lot of life as humorous.

Now let me think about what I've read here. He doesn't know how to spell Camaro but he's going to build one. He doesn't want to have to work with rust, probably because he can't; and out of the blue he wants to know if a 100 grand will build his Camero/Camaro. Now I'll admit that I'm only 70 years old, so I know I am still young and yet without understanding; but something tells me that we are dealing with a very young dreamer here. Most, even young car guys know how to spell Camaro by the age of 13 or so. You keep on dreaming dude, the hardest part is going to be producing the 100 grand. However, dreams do come true if you stick to your guns and make them happen. I'm sure every car guy on this forum has a dream parked in his garage.
