Dear corrupted_by_CEG,
I in no way shape or form said anything about your husband caring more about his car than his family. I said if I was in the same situation with a family that my views would be the same, but I am not married and I do not have my own family. So my priorities are different. As far as being a newbie I'm not that new I've been on this board for a while and have been part of the Georgia Chapter for some time.
As far as graphic and paint are concerned I do agree with you (i never said it is a necessary). My whole feeling about that was people do it to set themselves apart from the norm. Its like having a tatoo its a form of selfexpression, except its on a car.
I also agree with your husband and yourself that some people can not afford to fix up his or her car. But showing a car does not always have to be about how much money someone has spent, it can be about a group of people that just like to have fun.
