I agree. Thanks for reminding us. This site is a lot more informative and entertaining when we're talking about our great cars.

I try, although not always successful, to avoid living in an echo chamber.
If I only listen to people who think like me ( now that's a problem ), then I never have a reason to re-evaluate my personal beliefs, and merely keep going down the same path rightly or wrongly.
I have had epiphanies, although usually from this site on aspects of ZR-1 ownership or repair, but have also listened to opinions which are different from mine, and get glimpses into other sides of a story, sometimes causing me to re-think my position.
This is good!

We are all friends here.
I have NO animosity towards anyone on this forum even if I should strongly oppose where they stand on a particular idea or topic.

Our mutual feelings about these cars are strong enough to keep friendships alive even though our other beliefs may be quite varied.

Years ago I remember that awful moment, when speaking before a group of work colleagues about something I was convinced was right, then having an epiphany and realizing I was not so right.
The look on my face was plain as day.
I paused, then laughed and said to the group that learning is a lifelong and wonderful thing!
It still is!
