Sometimes I don't know why I still waste my time in the AMC hobby. I think I should just throw all the shit I've saved right into a 20 yard dumpster and be done with it. I get so tired of all of the new "experts" in the hobby that are being introduced daily on the internet. There are a massive number of people out there that are giving some of the most asinine, stupid fucking advice ever known to mankind. And what's worse is people are believing the advice. I've always thought that most people were smart enough to see through some or most of the bullshit but I am realizing that they are just as fucking stupid as the dumb mother fuckers that are giving the stupid advice. I now believe we're all just surrounded by a massive amount of stupidity, and the internet is finally making me realize this. Someone please wake me from this bad dream of being surrounded by all these stupid mother fuckers. I am tried of all of the stupidity. Is there anyone that can save this existence?

You try to do what's right in the hobby and help someone find the correct parts for their car (exactly what they asked for) and along comes 6 of the "experts" to tell them differently. It's no wonder no one can get their cars correct after all of these years. Forest Gump got one thing right... "Stupid is as stupid does"

I know what you mean. I get the same type of crap when I post up a response to engine questions. I am starting to realize how dumb I really am. I am trying to post up less and less but sometimes I can't help myself.

It amazes me these people have job. If the owner of the Company is a multi-Millionaire, they coulda been a multi-Billionaire if he didn't hire stupid piece of shit that didn't fuck up shit all day long.
I'm on a forum that is for "For Sale ads" only, yet every day, a couple of retards post up tech questions. The title of the forum is self explanatory and the rules are posted on the header pic. Yet no one "gets it"

Prime example, this guy is told the rules, and still keeps babbling on. What a POS he is and his entire family. If he's your relative, you need to go kill him now so you don't look bad thru association.

What's great is, I see "Lurch" posting tech questions on other 71-4 B-Body forums. Why not stay there. Lets go over to a For Sale forum and act like the inbred he is. Wow, what a total shit pile of a car.

I do see Lurch was fired from his job of 6 years. They put up with his ass not following instructions for 6 years, I'd say he was pretty lucky.

I dunno whats wrong i live for stupid motherfuckers to jump up into the center ring and spread their feathers and just let it all hang out. I figure there is too much responsibilty and stress trying to straighten things out. Not my job. Fixing stupid is something only the stupid person being stupid can do, and they never do since they are too stupid to realize they are stupid. Ignorance can be remedied, stupid is chronic. So relax and enjoy the trainwreck. Now dont get me wrong, i do validate your frustration. I get pissed off all the time. Its tough to do but when you feel your blood pressure rise, you gotta take a breath and realize your getting too involved. I should have taken this advice sunday when i got myself thrown out of the drag races. And i see my time has come. This hobby, this world. The tidal wave of stupid youth will wash me away. Stupid has the upper hand. The power of youth fueled, no supercharged, with full on stupid.

I heard a proverb that said “ all things fear time except truth” well i see some logic in it. I truly believe that the truth can be discovered by intelligence but soon lost forever, and ignorance and chaos rusumes normality. Hear me now and understand me tomorrow when i say the human race is RULED by IGNORANCE.

Someone said the me the other day: "hey, you're an AMC guy, aren't you?" My response was: "yeah, I dunno. I wouldn't be if I could sell all of this shit." "It's not valuable?" "Not really, no."
In retrospect, I should have kept one of the Chevys, or Fords, or the one cool B-body Mope, and ditched the AMC junk 30 years ago. But, nope. Now all of the cool Chevy, Ford, and Mope body styles are priced into the stratosphere, while I can hardly give away AMC/FSJ stuff for scrap weight.

Its worth plenty to the right buyer. Its worth nothing to the wrong one. Snag is there is a lot more people who dont want or need it. I never try and sell so i never do sell. Take motorcycles for instance. Why is the shittiest bike ever the most popular and expensive? Why do people let good cars go to the crusher so they can spend more on a new (and shittier) car?

Seems like the West Coast does have trouble getting rid of stuff. Years ago I remember AMCkidd putting up rust free Gremlins for sale, reasonably priced. He always got the "too far away" response and he ended up junking some of them

Logistics are a big factor. If not for logistics we would all trade amongst ourselves. And be better for it. Reb would have gears in his rebel. We would all buy sell and trade parts and labor on a easy and freindly basis.
