I Here is the best way I can sum up Mike's car. It's Kim Kardashian. There is 0 reason she should be famous but based simply on over exposure she has turned mediocrity into fame. Mike has done the exact same thing here and so many have fallen for it. I can think of a handful of cars that are FAR nicer and well put together than Mikes. Bob Doles car, #3, Banzeg, James Foster, etc yet not a single one of them was mentioned as a nice Galant. Based simply on Mike pushing his car all over the internet he get's mentioned along side 1051. Think about it.
Now on to the real reason his car fires me up so much. The couple of people I mentioned above have very nice cars. They spend time repainting parts, refinishing hardware, picking out parts that work together as a system and most importantly they take great pride in what they have done. When Mike's car gets compared or over shadows truly nice cars it is disrespectful to those people. In my opinion it's a slap in the face to people like Mark who take pride in the cars they build and the time they invested. Those cars should be celebrated and used as bench marks for the rest of the community to strive for, not some half ass thrown together pile that is simply in your face 24/7.
You can call me an ass if you like but I think I hit the nail on the head.

It almost seems like you don't like Mike? Are you going to get a T-shirt or something?
You are correct. I am not a fan.
So I'm guessing thats a no on the T-shirt then...Well, can you at least give Mike credit for good marketing? Maybe he likes the business aspect more than turning wrenches /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Sounds like my plan will be to have a perfect one so no one can say Kardashian at me.
No build is beyond reproach. Even 1051 has had its critics, hence the current titles for Mark and I. I'd like to think we've overcome our differences though, as many members here do over time.
It takes a while to get settled in, but once you do, you will really appreciate this forum for the unique people it brings together. There are some really good guys here (and now ladies), and many of them will go out of their way for you. Welcome.
