[DeTomaso] More of Steve's Yellow Car-The Pangusta!

[Matt]

"It's an abomination."
-Disgust and hatred?

"Look, someone has to point up these mindless modifications to cars that
are now ( who knows why ) worth something."
- They've always been worth something.

"The unmolested cars are the ones that will raise to the top of the money
pile."
-Maybe true, but hopefully that is not why you own one.

"And THAT is exactly why De Tomasos, Panteras in general will NEVER be
taken seriously by the Motoring World because of the ill conceived
"additions" that are foisted on a great many of these cars."
-That may also be true, but why would you care whether they are or not?

Nancy I find it interesting that mods like Steve has done are repugnant to
you.
I am not judging you, just your opinions and would hope that you don't view
my response as an attack on your character. We all have the right to
express our thoughts knowing all may not agree.That's what free speech is
all about right?

I try to see the work done as a labor of love for cars and for it's
engineering craftsmanship.
It's that unrelenting human factor that makes people to do such things. It's
what drives some to push the existing threshold beyond what we know.
Beauty is in the eye of the creator, how you perceive it is of course your
choice.
The "Motoring World" would be a very,very boring place without people like
Steve and others of like mind who are well respected for the modifications
they've created. And not just Panteras.
Endless "mindless" innovations have come from people like him that have
guided the course of automotive history and evolution. I'm sure you are
aware of this and can respect that.
You still may not like it Nancy and that's ok.
It can be a challenge and it may sound so esoteric, but if you can relearn
and allow yourself to find some appreciation and acceptance of things
initially uncomforting then perhaps you'll reduce bother and add bit more
enjoyment in your life.
And we could all use a little more of that these days :)

Respectfully,
