    When I was typing up a reply to 65stanger (for a comment he left - obviously not thinking before he typed! ) I happened to look down at the "bottom ad" on the page.

    It was for a hood pin appearance kit!

    Why? :scratch: :shrug: :doh:

    I guess that the nature of this society has trickled down to even Stangers.... we would actually buy little stick-on fake hood pins.... :nonono::nonono::nonono:


    Hell, lets just give the Big Three one-hundred billion dollars; so they can appear to be set right in their business!

    :bang:

    Holy cow manure! Why would you pay that much for something fake?

    I remember in my poor years, I stuck a bolt up through the hood and use the cotter pin hole for the clip.

    I dunno, I guess I spent too much time in the real]/b] parts department :shrug:

    After all, my hood latch worked, they wouldn't go with the overall "sleeper" appearance, more chrome to polish (I hate polishing chrome); and somebody would just laugh at me! I get enough of that already, without getting caught faking stuff!
