Needless to say, your camaro is outstanding.
Derby, not meaning to pick a fight with you about the Friends of Barbarro's attire. I also think the Nascar fans wearing some of their outfits at Daytona look pretty foolish.
I too am an animal lover (in spite of what you think), both of my dogs and every cat I have had have been rescues or rehomes from a difficult situation. I find it difficult to comprehend an "animal lover" liking horse racing. I realize that many horses lead a good life, but it seems many don't. (I've been looking around the web) I read about 8-Bells, I guess she was surrounded by animal lovers.
Are you a vegetarian? I switched to a non meat diet almost 4 years ago after feeling I was somewhat of a hypocrite for eating meat and calling myself an animal lover. I haven't gone as far as being a vegan, so I guess everyone's perception of being an animal lover is different.
I must say, when I did eat meat, I had several occasions to eat horse meat and found it quite lean and tasty, and see no difference in eating Horse, chicken, cow, pig or fish. Even "had me some Gator Tail"....(tastes like chicken)
Sorry if you think I was "pissing on you" (your words). As you say, to each his own.
Back to car stuff. I haven't seen half of the neat stuff here..............
Have a swell day, and enjoy your Barbarro car.

No hard feelings. I probably came on a bit strong in my retort. I really got a kick out of your first post "Mr. Ed goes to Sea". Obviously you do have a good sense of humor.
Shamefully I am a meat eater. Very cool that you have the discipline to stay away from it. Also good to hear you've rescued your dogs and cats. I'm not your average Fan of Barbaro (FOB). Most are older women, and very few men. Barbaro first caught my eye in the Kentucky Derby, when he pulled away and won by 6 lengths. When he got injured, and fought to survive for those 8 months, I felt a certain bond with him. I struggle with really bad knee arthritis, and was really athletic in my younger years. So when I saw Barbaro go from being an elite athlete to stuggling with injury and pain, I related to that.
Blue and green are my favorite colors, so I have no problem identifying myself as an FOB from time to time
