    Yea I want to keep the classic look but I want the modern gauges. Slight mods for better daily driving is my goal. I won't be buying this thing to park it in the garage and look at it.

    I read this on Facebook but gonna put it here.
    A man ask his son why do you spend hours play football video games when you could be outside playing for real? The son ask why do you sit and watch people play football on TV for hours when you could be outside playing for real?

    same as this, some kids go out party drink and hang with friends, some kids play online inside safe playing with friends and joking around.

    i'd pick the latter if I had a kid, hours into the night gaming or hours into the night partying.

    Hey Scotty, I'm sorry if I upset you about the video game conversation we had. I was only stating my point of view, with no emotion involved. It's ok to agree to disagree! I apologize again if I offended you in any way.
    Have a good day,
    Jonny
    ------------
    haha man you didn't offend me. I just had a meeting to go to. I don't get hard feelings, and I really don't get offended.

    if you haven't learned by now I just love debate/discussion, but I want the other parties to be willing to see things differently than their initial views, and it does annoy me when someone isn't willing to even consider other possibilities. to each their own though.
    ------------
    You gotta give some if you're gonna take some. If you refuse to see it the other way, then the other party will refuse to see it your way. 2-way street. I'm open for healthy debate and I've even gone as far as fist-fighting someone over something that I strongly believe in, but that was back when I was younger.
    ------------
    There are 3 points of view though, as I see it.

    1. Video games are the best and you should devote a lot of time to them.
    2. Video games are just fine and they should be balanced into your lifestyle, and not looked down upon.
    3. Video games are pointless and a waste of time.

    I'm 2. You're views seemingly are 3. So which one seems more like a give AND take and which one seems more like a take and no give?
    -----------
    I'm #3, but I tolerate #2, just because they're my kids. I just don't see the added value to spending hours on a video game console, that's all. Agree to disagree.
    -----------
    Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    Now if I said only play video games, and don't box/hunt/fish/play other stuff, then I'd only be taking and no giving.

    I'm on the side of balance though, you're seemingly on the side of 0 video games....though now you are saying your kids play 1-2 hours a day.
    -----------
    They do play, that doesn't mean I have to like it or agree with it. Once again, I'm #3, that tolerates #2. They damn sure ain't gonna let it get in the way of their sports, family time, and recreational stuff.
    -----------
    I never said let it get in the way. I never said give up your way of thinking entirely.

    but to claim things like "video games have no benefit" "video games are pointless" "kids don't know as much as we did"

    those are just asinine comments with no merit behind them besides your own personal opinion.
    -----------
    No personal opinion here, just observable facts and yes my comments have merit. My kids don't even know the multiplication table as a freshman in HS, that's not their fault, it's the educational system's fault. I just don't see video games adding any benefit, that's all. Kids will be fine without them. Hell, I played the Nintendo and Sega growing up, but not all day, every day, but did it teach me any life skills that I use today? Not at all. To say my comments are asinine and have no merit, you don't know me or my family, or our situation. My comments have merit, I'm not just talking out of my ass. I can listen and try to see things from your point of view, but on the same token, can you see things from my point of view?
    -----------
    I can see things from your point of view, but none of my comments had ultimatums tied to them like yours did.

    "video games are useless" that has an ultimatum of it that they have absolutely zero use ever.

    guess what? they do have use. they do have benefits.

    that's why I say your comments don't have merit, because you put non-factual ultimatums in them.

    -----------
    Yeah, I guess values have changed to. I'm just still failing to see the value of video games, we'll just leave it at that. I parent my kids and that's all that matters. They will grow up being contributors to society and to help those that are less fortunate and to make America great again. This is probably where you and I differ, I value the state champ HS quarterback way more than the kid who is the Fortnite champion.
    -----------
    but the kid that is the fortnite champion can donate money to help the less fortunate.

    the state champ HS QB can't.

    so contributing to society and helping those that are less fortunate and making America great again seems to be in favor of the Fortnite champ right now.
    ------------
    We'll just agree to disagree then...
    ------------
    Can you point out to me how a HS QB with no financial earnings, and like a 0.001% chance of ever making money off of football can help the less fortunate more than a kid who just won $3million dollars and can give money to charities immediately?
    ------------
    Yeah and kids also have a .001% of being a professional gamer that makes millions as well, so there's two sides to that story.
    ------------
    I don't disagree, they both have a slim chance, but you didn't answer the question.

    You said a HS Football QB State Champ can contribute more than the 16 year old Fortnite Champion. I asked you to explain how.
    ------------
    I never said that the HS QB could contribute more, I only value him more. I said my KIDS could contribute more, quit misunderstanding me man!
    ------------
    and if one of your kids had become a fortnite champion and one of your kids had become a HS QB, you would value one kid more than another?
    ------------
    I love my kids the same no matter what.
    ------------
    nah, the kid that grows up to play video games has no value.
    ------------
    Fuck you Scotty, this conversation is over. Don't use my kids as pawns in your debate against me. #$^@#(*&@#^$(*#&^$(@#^$
    ------------
    I didn't use your kids, I said "THE KID" that plays video games has no value.

    You are the one that said that as well.
    ------------
    "and if one of your kids had become a fortnite champion and one of your kids had become a HS QB, you would value one kid more than another?"
    I love my kids the same no matter what.

    "nah, the kid that grows up to play video games has no value."
    Fuck you Scotty
    -------------
    I did not, and never would insult your children. I'm sorry if you think that.

    I simply turned your point of view around on you, and it bothered you. Hopefully you see the issue because of that.

    Thanks for the debate.
    -------------



    the conversation continued but I won't show those because I don't want anyone banned. just like I blocked out some of what was said in these messages. it alternates Jonny/Me/Jonny/Me the whole time.

    you called me out in this thread as someone who insults children, I'm not going to sit idly by and let you accuse me of that with no support to it.

    this is simply a way of showing them that I don't insult children, as you accused.

    I didn't insult any kids.

    You are the one that said a kid that plays fortnite has less value than a HS QB State Champ. YOU SAID THAT.

    to be fair, I only see one party insulting the other.

    I also see where one party let it go and was then quoted again bringing the conversation back

    Although I don't post in here often anymore I still come by to read stuff from time to time. So lets drop the upload_2019-8-14_12-6-9.jpg in the thread and keep it to PMs if it must continue and not penalize the whole thread because of said upload_2019-8-14_12-7-55.jpg. If the picture isn't clear....there are no winners.

    Sorry, not going to stand idly by when someone falsely accuses me of insulting children.

    You can all have your own opinions, and post all your "this sucks" "this is a pissing match" but that just means you aren't willing to contribute because you don't want to seemingly take sides.

    I apologized for him taking what I said the wrong way, and still got threatened and cussed out afterwards.
