[DeTomaso] NPC - POCA IT

Fri Aug 30 08:06:44 EDT 2013

I like this better for three reasons.
1. It is entertaining, how many of us comment on a slow day that it is a
slow day? Because we notice because we read these emails even when we do
not "need" something. It is fun.
2. It is educational, I don't have to go searching for stuff, and by being
exposed to issues and problems others are having, I learn more about the
car and/or  I am able to contribute to help another owner as a result of my
experience, it is called "giving back", so when I need help, advice, etc. I
can withdraw from the karma ( no pun intended) bank.
Those who only ask and never offer might take this to heart.
3. I consider most of you friends and have done my best to meet as many as
possible in real life. We aee share a common passion and despite our
political, philosophical, religious or other differences, we share a
passion that unites us. Aside from that, these cars seem to draw similar
personalities who would be friends anyway. Funny how that seems almost
universally true. There are people on the list that I don't always meld
with, but I would help them anyway because underneath it all, our commoness
outweighs our differences.
