I wouldn't get to haired up over other people's actions. Look at it this way: some people are just a-holes, right? Now you give that person a fastback, do you really expect him to be a nice guy? No, now he's an a-hole with a fastback, no more, no less. As far as the coupes vs fastbacks thing, get over it. It ain't what you start with, it's what you end up with when you're done. I've seen some awfully nice coupes and fastbacks alike. I think we've all seen examples of both we wouldn't be seen dead in also, right? I looked long and hard for a nice fastback, but after I found one, I saw a super nice '66 coupe in the local college parking lot (red, lowered a touch, polished 5-spokes) that made me think that I could've had a nicer car for less bucks. Don't EVEN get me started on California. While it may seem nice when your 20 and a walking stiffy 24/7, it changes when your 40 and struggling to pay car license fees, extra high insurance for living here, killer property taxes and you can't take your dog to the beach or ride a dirt bike without being branded an outlaw. We pay the highest gas prices, yet if you paint your car in your own garage, you face killer fines. I work for a lumber company and can't count the number of times our company has been in the news because of environmentalists trashing logging equipment, chaining themselves to trucks, blockading themselves in our main office, etc, all without fines or jail time because of this states liberal views. Think that crap would fly in Texas? Not likely. If I found a machinist job that paid the same in another state, I'd set a new U-Haul speed record leaving this hole.
